I drive like this all the time, keeping out of the "fast" lane on the highway with the cruise set at 3mph under the limit. Enya CD playing and life's good.
I agree with you it has benefits, what I’m wondering about is if not more bugs (though not the same ones) would be fixed by contributing directly to rustc compared to the massive effort of building a new compiler.
I'm by no means an economist nor do I pretend I have the answers to the questions.

But my initial view of UBI is to ensure that people can afford their basic necessities.

I've heard plenty of ways to which UBI could be funded - including taxation against the robots and AIs that take on the labour that used to be done. Is that practical in the short term? Probably not, but the whole article is about thinking about and planning for these future scenarios.

I don't know what the answer to UBI funding is, but that's sorta the problem in the first place. We haven't planned enough for that world.
Predictions of doom and gloom because some technology (AI or something else) renders humans unneeded forget that humans aren't just workers but also consumers. So if we get rid of a large proportion of workers without replacing work as a means of wealth distribution the economy will no longer work because there will be no one to buy the goods and services produced.

Ultimately we will either have to forgo technological advancement in order to keep the current model where work is the primary means of wealth distribution or move to a completely different system for that. If machines can do our work to let us do more interesting things for us I say great.

The difficulty is the transition period where replacing people by AI without compensation will be advantageous for the first movers but not yet enough to break the system to force us to a new model.
Seems to be an unpopular opinion to see this as child abuse and brainwashing. Sad. He’s going to have quite a rough life as he grows older.

Thank you (and all the adjacent comments). I don't really need so much RAM for my regular work. Running the llms locally would only be for fun and experiments.

I think 32GB might be the best middle ground for my needs and budget constraints.

It's really a pity that you can't extend RAM in most Apple Silicon Macs and have to decide carefully upfront.
> belief that “all public information is quickly priced in.”

if you actually believed that all public information is quickly priced in, why did you short or buy puts? Did you have non-public information? Being bearish is expressing doubt that the information is priced in.

What subsequently happened (nothing) is confirmation that the information was priced in, and should reinforce your stated belief.

Once I'm retired, I would like to digitize my own grandfathers prisoner of war diary, including that episode where they ate a dog so they didn't die from starvation, but it turned out to be the camp commanders dog, so that meal had an enormous price tag in terms of consequences. (Just to point out it wasn't all black shiny cars in the 1940s!)
it’s a pity it doesn’t warm everywhere equally. Here in some places the nordics summers are getting colder and wetter. We don’t get to enjoy warming but would pay for it anyway.
Very nice job! I love these kinds of optimizations. I wonder if we'll get to a compiler that can do it by itself.

Looks like you're missing a square root in the zip-Python version. Does that affect runtime?
Old doesn't necessarily equal expensive. In terms of actual drivable cars from that era, collectors would put a real premium on cars eligible for the Mille Miglia.
Oh my god. The audacity to say that.. to even think of saying that bs!!!
I wonder if that R&D would cost as much if the patent system wasn't so generous.
Strong AGI is our purpose. At several points in the history of biological life on earth there have been phase changes in the complexity of life: When we first captured mitochondria, when we first figured out multicellular life, when we form complex foodchains, when we first began to use tools, master agriculture, etc...

Life is an unbroken chain from the first self-replicating molecules to this very moment, and each moment that has passed has accelerated the ability of the universe to comprehend itself in our little corner of reality through the increasing complexity of life. In the same way that paramecium still exist, we will continue to still exist as part of something larger, but we will no longer be at the forefront of complexity as biological beings, which is a good thing.

I feel privileged to have existed at the end of one epoch and the beginning of another, which is not always something the average human gets to witness.

The DOJ immediately (less than a month) signaled they were against this and would sue, you disputing this = disingenuous.

I actually have a different version to this: 9X% of everything is crap, where X ranges from 0 to 9.999. That variation though is what differentiates a category and a time, since either 1 in 10, in 100 or 1 in 1000 can be a great find.

This is the reason why movies or music seemed better in other times, because X was close to 0 then and now it's 9.

We've been through many such milestones already though, starting with mechanical devices like the Antikythera mechanism, the last big "enabler" was the transistor about 75 years ago.

You asked for evidence of possible civil war in the EU. I provided evidence from a very compelling source of such a possibility in one of the EU's founding members, something you obviously had not been aware of. Taken aback, all you can do is to sputter "no u".

A way to earn cash back for applying to jobs
Job searching can feel like a job, so I've been working on something to give job seekers rewards for applying to US-based jobs. Most jobs on the site pay at least $1 for applying.

Excellent thread! Thanks for doing it and congrats on your journey so far.

I also have ADHD which was fortunately diagnosed when I was in third grade. Meds helped greatly but I still struggled academically. Unfortunately, I stupidly noped out of taking meds starting my senior year of high school, then flamed out of college and went through a "lost decade" in terms of life, career and even relationship progress until I kinda hit bottom and got back on meds. Since then, with a combo of meds and accepting I need to consistently apply basic tools (lists, systems, processes), I've had pretty constant upward progress on all dimensions and have overall been doing really well.

One small suggestion regarding your posts... in a few places you mention "(Tool XYZ) works just as well as meds." I think it's great that they've worked well for you! Based on my understanding of the literature, I think it's the case that those things can work as well as, or even better than, meds for some people. Personally, I've tried exercise, meditation, talk therapy and pretty much everything else which has shown a modicum of real potential in the literature. Despite multiple serious attempts in multiple ways over significant periods, for me, they all turned out "helped a little, but not enough." I think the reality is that the effectiveness of treatments can vary widely across ADHD individuals (and also across life phrases within individuals, especially adolescence to adulthood).

I think the literature mostly supports the idea that meds are still the most likely treatment to be "sufficiently effective" to enable a meaningful difference in life outcomes. However, as you mention, meds won't "do it for you", don't work for everyone and it's certainly the case that med effectiveness requires finding the right med or combo of meds, the right dosing and an effective, sustainable usage pattern. Which, for many, can require patience, perseverance and a lot of difficult-to-sustain experimentation while tracking changes that can be hard to self-assess.

The reason I'm careful to mention this whenever I discuss treatments is that there's still a pretty common bias in the general populace against meds. Some people who don't have ADHD just think "smart pills" are a crutch for slackers or dummies. Some people who have ADHD hate thinking of themselves as someone who "needs" meds to "fix themselves" or even to be "normal." This is definitely why and how I ended up with that lost decade, which I still deeply regret. This is all made harder by the fact that, ADHD IS somewhat over-diagnosed and mis-diagnosed, especially self-diagnosis, and some people do abuse the same meds. Yet, despite all this, some ADHDers still remain undiagnosed or are struggling without effective treatment.
Climate change may not be what he is worried about.
I do this too but I think it works a little differently. I would say that we unconsciously tailor the way we talk to align ourselves socially with others.
Ok, sorry. I did not understand that you just mentioned that to give more context. Totally makes sense.
The people pulling the purse strings would disagree. They’d cite the comparatively much larger losses to Russia (without spilling a drop of American blood).
Owning a car like that is so expensive they have little resale value. The upholstery should be relatively easy to restore but the older a car gets, the harder it is to find other spare parts from junkers.

Most of the mechanical parts have to be made custom from machinists who specialize in collectible cars. Sometimes a part breaks that no one has made in decades so you have to hire someone to locate old drawings or create them from scratch, pick the materials, figure out the QA process, and so on.
And here am I, having my kids miss out on stuff all the time because I cannot keep up with regularly checking the 5000 WhatsApp groups that have formed around their lives.

Real threat, meshes very well with my engineering background. I easily follow the narrative and technical arguments. I find good associations with my preexisting uni knowledge, including some hands on lab experiments. I especially appreciate articles, where I can go through source material myself (https://climate.nasa.gov). It just makes sense, imagining earth as a closed thermodynamic model.

The AI threat sounds to me more like a person scared of the Terminator long time ago. It's always: step one: AGI comes, step two is too late. There is never any believably real scenario given, only those that partially rely on magic or feelings.

I'm always thinking, who in power would ever allow that power be given to anybody, or in this case, anything, else?
>These funds buy based on market cap of the stock.

There might potentially be a problem if ETFs owned the entire market, but owning half the market cap still allows for market pricing of the other half. I don't see that you are pointing out a problem?

The market put a price on NKLA, and you are simply claiming that you know better than the market (to hell with the wisdom of crowds); such beliefs are generally unfounded. One example does not tell a convincing story, do you have a portfolio of disbelief that you have tracked the performance of?

This is what Tomas Mikolov said on Facebook:

> I wanted to popularize neural language models by improving Google Translate. I did start collaboration with Franz Och and his team, during which time I proposed a couple of models that could either complement the phrase-based machine translation, or even replace it. I came up (actually even before joining Google) with a really simple idea to do end-to-end translation by training a neural language model on pairs of sentences (say French - English), and then use the generation mode to produce translation after seeing the first sentence. It worked great on short sentences, but not so much on the longer ones. I discussed this project many times with others in Google Brain - mainly Quoc and Ilya - who took over this project after I moved to Facebook AI. I was quite negatively surprised when they ended up publishing my idea under now famous name "sequence to sequence" where not only I was not mentioned as a co-author, but in fact my former friends forgot to mention me also in the long Acknowledgement section, where they thanked personally pretty much every single person in Google Brain except me. This was the time when money started flowing massively into AI and every idea was worth gold. It was sad to see the deep learning community quickly turn into some sort of Game of Thrones. Money and power certainly corrupts people...

The problem with these long-something illnesses is that the diagnosis is mostly "vaguely differential".

My son is going through that right now. He has a set of symptoms that could point to long covid but this could also be 100 other things. He is going from specialist to specialist gathering a pile of medical tests.

He is young, very athletic and his condition is manageable so we honestly just hope for the best (= hope his body will fix this itself).
> Why did you have to resort to looking it up on Wikipedia? You seemed confident in your proclamation

No, I just phrased it poorly. What I meant was that you seemed to pull your definition of populism straight from Wikipedia, but that wasn’t really a good summary.

> You so far haven’t even mentioned one single salient point about what it actually is.

If it helps, here’s the definition from a dictionary:

> a political strategy based on a calculated appeal to the interests or prejudices of ordinary people

It isn’t an ideology, it’s simply an abstract strategy. Which I described in several examples. I don’t understand what you’re missing here.

> This is pure rhetoric. You think that the statement is wrong? Well just say that then instead of bawling all over the place about how it hurts puppies.

Is calling it bullshit clear enough to you? Because that’s what I did in the first place.

Israel is home to a broad demographic. All citizens are allowed to vote. There is nothing similar to the Apartheid; repeatedly claiming so doesn’t make it true.
I ditched k8s and imported an eBPF library into my project. When certain conditions are met I fork logic, and scale back as needed. I haz a v8-like engine built into my project.

Not needing a bloated black box sysadmin framework (aside from Linux itself, which is plenty bloated and over engineered) is a huge time saver. And the eBPF libs have a lot of eyes on them.

IMO sysadmin and devops are done for. They lasted this long to “create jobs”.
