Eh, others in the discussion claimed it would be completely impossible for an ISP to do this thing, due to how network protocols work.

Anyway, annoying… at least http supports resuming, so it is possible to kill and restart manually, or use aria2c to circumvent it.
My friend and I have started a penpal letters project discussing tech and life
Why can't we reverse engineer photosynthesis?
Great ideas! Now when I go be a nomad, or go to live with friends, should I bring the wife and kids (and dogs) along too, for the laugh? I have about as much scope of move 1 hour down the road as I do to move to the Moon!
I agree with you point about UX-professionals. I am not a professional UX designer, but I work in product/graphic/web design since 20 years. As such I volunteered for an open source project once, in a push which (according to the founding developer) was of great value to the project. Basically I just looked at all things as if I had seen them the first time and tried to formulate solutions that replaces gotchas with discoverability, makes unexpected things expected, sand down paper cuts, etc.

This only worked because the founding developer was the benevolent dictator for life and I had one guy that I needed to convince. And that guy clearly was a genius in what he did and accepted that I was better than him in what I did.

Now I don't know the Darktable project's organizational structure, but given the grievances aired here I assume there is no clear shared vision and nobody feels responsible for being really in charge of the software as a tool that solves problems.

Now I am a nerd myself, but there is a kind of open source nerddom, where the people are in it for the coding first and not primarily for creating an elegant and nice to use tool. This can be okay, if there is someone in a deciding position of the project that at least cares about that aspect. If all contributers are just fiddling away in their own corners of the software you will get a patchwork of a software where different parts feel completely different.
I was hoping to this would be an lte-wifi router. Unfortunately it isn't.

I wish we had open source modern lte hardware, but it's not just that we haven't got any open source stuff. There is barely any commercial stuff either. Qualcomm seems the only company I'm able to find that makes lte cat 20 hardware, let alone cat 24. I wonder why. Wouldn't open source hardware projects like limesdr have the resources necessary to deliver it? (there is an fpga on board).

Likewise with WiFi 6 and 7. But here were talking about high frequencies so I can understand a lack of open hardware.
It does not need to be said.

The use of literally as an intensifier goes back centuries, and is well-accepted. Move on.

Why choose this hill to die on when there are far more interesting things to discuss?
the collapsing empire books are excellent, and I would recommend them to most SF fans. but even other than that I've found scalzi consistently entertaining - not "omg this was a brilliant book" but fun books that I was happy to have read and kept me interested in reading the next one he wrote.

Electricity market is interesting from a late stage capitalism perspective because it's so managed by regulations and transparent, and relatively pretty closed-world, and there's fast feedback. So many of the capitalism critiques don't work as well against it.

Of course the fundamental problems of unfairness and poor people paying more for electricity than big industrial users can also be attributed to properties of how the market is managed and regulated by the public (the classic "critique of free market" -> "not free enough, ergo not fault of free markets" trope).

Besides generation, this also enables pricing and funding of energy storage. Eg you could use historical data to see how profitably you could play production peaks and lows to charge/discharge battery storage, and use fairly well known risk management stats for the uncertainty factors.
But it is - a few examples:

- bankruptcy laws in the US encourage more risk taking by not financially punishing founders/investors in case of failure

- more dynamic labor market… hire fast but also fire fast if required

- less of a work/life balance culture

- fewer government regulations
The only place I’ve had severe gps issues was when visiting NYC. Too many tall buildings. Very little line of sight to a satellite. Plus reflections from buildings. It was frequently off by entire blocks. Found ourselves frequently ignoring the blue dot on the map.

I do encounter compass issues all of the time though. Almost always it starts perpendicular to where it should.
Do anyone know whether the new LE Audio standard include high quality duplex audio (headphones + microphone)? Or is it still mSBC 16 kHz?
Since the A-12 was 93% titanium, it's virtually certain that its skeletal frame was made of the metal. The word "literal" applies.
Yes.

I think I get this sometimes, lying on my back falling to sleep. What feels like an "electric shock" hitting me between the eyes and jolting me awake.
I would be very surprised if (not at all)OpenAI didn't. I've noticed it with both gpt 3.5 and Gpt4 that if you ask it a difficult question the latency increases a lot, especially at the beginning of the answer. I wouldn't ve surprised if they did exactly what was described.

thank author for create a beautiful text viewer. I write most of note on it when I in university.
That's a good point. Not that it changes my mind about the worth of the telescopes but I can see that the peak could have been left alone by Native Hawaiians for those reasons.
Please don't support or frequent Spotify podcasts. Podcasts should not be walled-garden, they should monetize directly and publicly by having the ads at the start or end or sometimes I guess interspersed.

Truth be told, I'm starting to review my default "hatred" of ads. I hate ads for terrible Hard-R random shit. I can live with my podcasts advertising at least closer to being intelligent products but not personalised stuff. /Comment
We do standups a couple times a week as a text chat, one person pings everyone as a reminder then we all put in just a couple sentences on what's going on before we go to lunch. Most days someone's message starts a thread where two or more of us chat about something in their update.

no. this is not against youtube policies. i checked it couple of times. as it simply embeds videos, without forcing anything. and is not the same experience as youtube. it is a companion. and also i'm using the api very conservatively, pre-calculated every request. but time will show. you can't guess big tech.

i meant with mobile applications the bureaucracy, the development necessary and the update cycle and even the size of the icons matter to be approved. and they may accept and they may not. so not only youtube, play store and ios store policies interfere. i can't say i like it. there's already a fight against them from other big-techs against the app stores, even the EU is against their monopoly. well, i'll shut up now :)
Just my experience, YMMV.

I mean, I'm sure that if you'd really want to, you'd come with a creative solution that would be beneficial for everyone. People with skin in the game that feel a particular need so strong as if they need to breathe oxygen, they usually have a shot at making stuff like this work, others don't.

That's my experience at least. I've heard quite a few times that what I'd do is impossible. Then they saw me do it and then I heard "oh but if you do it that way, then yea, with a lot of effort is is possible."

It's a mindset thingy, and the mindset that I see written in your comment feels like "I can't realistically." I get that, but IMO it's not the most helpful mindset if you want to do things that are slightly (or completely) off the beaten path. Martin Seligman's book helped in this aspect (Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life).

Shockingly dancing was not mentioned? Or have I missed it?

I’ve encouraged many programmers to start dancing as they are naturally gravitating toward Argentinian Tango which is flourishing with good programming of steps combined with improvisation.
That’s the most dangerous possible model - produces state secrets that are mostly correct, with some juicy hallucinations about nukes, terrorists and shadow ops. What could possibly go wrong?

Going by the trade value:

-203.40 per MWh, 5787 MW for 24h, 203.40578724 = 28M € - so about 5% of Knight Capital $440M

Of course this may not be all, as they still have to buy the electricity from somewhere that they are selling for negative price...
The FAQ mentions that this can run in QEMU. Are there cloud providers that support hosting a custom ISO? I feel like that would be hard to secure.
That's the average for the whole day, the max negative price is -€0.5/kWh which is limited by regulations. It starts from 15.00 and continues for the rest of the day. Other than those hours, the price is normal, so the average is not as drastic.
Next to the Aldi there is a large grocery marketplace/bazaar that’s far more crowded - that isn’t marked with a pin at all.

Point being - Aldi is paying for this service. The map is skewering reality.

It’s not about historical representation, it’s about the fact that map-making has been around for awhile, and there are some great existing techniques for presenting that information that could be drawn on. But no, let’s melt colors together and highlight corporate chain stores with pins.

It is not a tech problem, not a culture ptoblem, but a monetary one. Reserve currency status and the petrodollar gives the US accrss to unlimited consequence free cash. This is why they can just treat the EU as a free research lab and buy up every promising result.
How should we unify these things? Most of it seems basically the same - we maximize log-likelihoods instead of calling it minimizing surprisal - but it's clearly the same thing. Are there any other ways to integrate these things together?

Goldman Sachs Analyst thinks otherwise. The company behind the Hepatitis C cure seems to also not doing well with monetizing their cure. There are also countries like Brazil that just suspended the patent.

So there doesn't seem to be any 'risk' as all projects are going ahead just fine. Well except Hawaii but that's not a new problem.

The space based platforms are also not at any risk, they still have capabilities the land based ones will not have such as the ability to see wavelengths absorbed by the atmosphere, weather independence and the lack of satellite interference.
They could measure server-side, which would be more difficult to block.

I’d like to see some combination of ad nauseum (play ad in an invisible/silent background to support the content creators) and auto-mirroring to bittorrent (to let the real video play while google thinks the ad is playing, and also, for anti-censorship).
I’ve searched for so long that I found the documentation of Mozilla saying, on the day of the release, that no, the shortcuts on the home page, can’t be removed.

Unfortunately, Firefox is still an ads machine. They keep coming up with “WE PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY” dark patterns to make us gobble up ads.

The worst is getting downvotes every time we point this out. Firefox defenders are extremely bad-faithed, they can’t have a rational discussion about Firefox having mere drawbacks, especially they can’t hear that Firefox misdirects users about privacy and ads.
Lots of them. VPS typically are not secured at the os level, but as separate VMs. For the cloud provider it's just a matter of picking an ISO (plus a few management extensions but those are usually optional)
Or maybe just something that looks like a delayed (since this is declassification) look at what used to be important to US foreign policy interests.
This. Many banks as a condition of giving out a loan require a house as collateral. A house that's underwater also tacks a debt to your personal name for instance.
If we understand the mechanisms of aging, perhaps we can reduce the health effects of aging. This might be an easier target than increasing overall life expectancy. Thus reducing the impact on society of caring for seniors.

As I understand it, the metabolic rate in most people is pretty good and constant until about 60 and starts to drop off.
I would be happy with a treatment that provides good strong health from 60 to 100 and then a sudden death. I don’t want to be infirm/disabled by age, not able to enjoy life and be a burden to my family.
Why is it important to be reminded of that?

Most of the tech is concentrated in California. If this was about regulation/labor market, it would have happened some place else in the US. That was not the case. Regarding taxes/gov. regulations, the US also has its own share of crazy.

I don't think all of these elements matter much (otherwise Estonia and Malta would be the tech hubs of Europe).

Of course, these things don't obey logic, so not an argument as such.

Power hasn't been concentrated.

They only sent a letter after Ilya signed it.

Power is distributed amongst Ilya, Brockman, Altman and the board. The other big player, which asserted itself quite plainly during this episode was ofc the team itself.

Altman is progressive, Brockman is center, Ilya is conservative and the board(should be) independent. Not sure where Mira Murati is at. Probably center with Brockman.

I'm guessing the team is highly diverse in loyalty, operating more like a family with a rather adorable coparenting arrangement than a corporation.

Seems overall everyone loves everyone. It's a high stakes mission that brought out some serious tension. All parties have strong feelings. Hell... I would.

If McKinsey was on track to sell armies of consultants for 20 bucks a month possibly as soon as the next 10 years... The stakes get high real quick.
I don't understand this graph. Weren't there 85+ startups in the class of 2019, example? https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/18/here-are-the-85-startups-t...

When the numbers total $50m in operations and the CEO is making about as much as a principal Google engineer: no, I don't see the issue. Even if he made $0 the issue remains given that every part of the server operation costs more than him.

But sure. What do you think is a fair salary or totalccomp for a founder and CEO of a popular, privacy focused app?
> I think it’s time to use my Apple Music included in family sub that I’m already paying for.

First of all Apple music doesn’t have podcasts and Apple podcasts has ads too! This is clickbaity article.
I love how I've seen Ilya talk about it. If we could find the shortest program to reproduce the training set, that would be optimal compression. But it's an intractable problem, we can't even come close, there's just no way to come at it.

But with deep learning we can instead find a circuit that approaches reproducing the training set.

This is lossy compression. There's nothing "just glorified" about it though; the result is astounding.

A more appropriate takeaway might be that sufficient compression is mind-bendingly more powerful than intuition might otherwise guess.

Does calling it "just glorified" guide any intuition that in order to compress amazon reviews a neural net is gonna have weights that correspond to sentiment? Does it tell you that such compression also ends up producing an artifact that can be put to work in a generative framework? And that it'll be a very useful generative framework because such compression required weights that correspond to all sorts of useful ideas, a compression of something more meaningful than just text?

Calling it "just glorified X" is clickbait. It's compression alright, and it's either 1) also whole lot more, or 2) compression is a whole lot more wild and impressive than you thought, or both.
> I worked at a mapping sw company (not Google Maps, but a 3p competitor) and the designers hated street name labels. I think they thought street names uglied up their carefully beautified cartography.

Why the hell don’t they just expose an option “show as many street names as possible”?
Wait, does that mean Q* is just tree-of-thought reasoning? Like are we at the point where OpenAI is so closed that they NIH everyone else's ideas with different names?
> Think of a highway ad.

Equally annoying, I'd block those too if I could.
If we're going to be making utilitarian arguments, I'll point out that almost everything you own could be put to better use by someone else.

In this particular case of native Hawai'ians, and there's a long history of mainlanders deciding, without asking them, that their stuff could be put to better use by them.

Lists like these remind me of how far I have to go as a person. I can and do do a lot of these to the point where I’d say they’re all within immediate reach. However, having the time, energy, and drive to be able to collate this list, self-test it, and weather feedback is totally beyond me. I’m grateful that we have people like the author who are both productive people and also generous enough to gather and share their wisdom with others.
