I also have it, I can draw a lighthouse because I know what it should look like. But if I close my eyes and try to visualize it, I don't have any sense that I'm seeing something, in the same way that I have a sense that I'm listening to a song when I play it back from memory.

According to the article, this applies mostly or only to Delta Dental of California.

Slightly OT: Delta Dental was the company that Costco used to sell Dental Insurance through. (unfortunately, that partnership has ended with no replacement.)

Careington and Thrive both offer overlapping discount plans that (especially combined) can more than offset the much higher monthly (not low annual) prices that Delta Dental is now charging, especially for a family.
Maybe I'm a woke snowflake but I am entirely fine with this sort of suggestion, and is exactly the sort of feedback I'd want my for own writing. I'd also want it to suggest alternatives to someone calling something "retarded" outside the literal definition of something slowing. To me it's effectively the same thing, though "insane" is less controversial and less well known.

> And all indications are that Apple probably makes more in mobile from Google than Google makes from Android

Oh, absolutely. That’s pretty much the reason why devs often prioritize iOS releases over Android versions, due to them being able to make way more money from iOS users (and, by extension, Apple being able to make way more money from an equivalent app on iOS app store, compared to its Google Play Store versions, since the app store revenue they make is a cut from the revenue the app devs make).

My point wasn’t that taking all Android phones (not just Pixel ones) into the account would make the comparison a bit more representative of reality, even if it still keeps the gap in money made from sales of phones extremely wide.
The Golden Record acts as a good thought exercise about how we'd go about communicating with an alien species. It's also a good public outreach and educational tool. It inspires awe and encourages taking time to reflect on what we are most proud of as a species.
The real question is why online credit card payments still involve using the whole card number, as opposed to some message signed by the card's private key authorizing certain spending limits for a retailer.

>Well. You have to exist, which means you compete, which might mean you grow.

Why growth? At some point you would eventually hit perfect saturation anyway, the steady state where everyone already is buying your product to the extent anyone can buy it. I get that losing business is bad, and it's better to "overcorrect" to growth, but as long as you compete enough to keep approximately same market share against other competitors, selling inflation adjusted $30 buckets of bricks to each generation of kids with profit sounds like perfectly good business. Owner of the business would receive steady income selling the inflation adjusted $30 buckets.

I'd imagine you'd hit problems when the buckets of bricks you are selling are ~eternal and number of kids is no longer growing, so nobody needs new ones.

That often quoted (or misquoted?) study was wildly misleading and became complete misinformation through the retelling.

People who said they'd pay using a credit card got reported in the media as being "unable to afford" the expense. The original study might have been an interesting finding on the transition to a cashless society, but for millions of Americans, paying using a credit card is the default rather than carrying cash and dealing with change, and not actually indicative of lacking funds to pay for something.
Interesting info. Why does it say in step 3:

Log in to what? If they moved the 'cloud' requirement from the AP to the management app it doesn't mean they got rid of it.
> ...if Lego is mostly dumped after a kid grows up... Anecdotally, most kids don't want old Lego

This is entirely wrong.

Nearly all the toys from my own childhood wound up in the garbage or Goodwill at one point or another... except the Legos. Kids want to build gigantic castles and spaceports of their own -- 20x larger than any sets Lego sells -- and those gigantic environments require having a ton of random assorted pieces.

Legos seem to be the one toy that doesn't get dumped.

> just look online at the moms selling old unwanted Lego cheap

That actually shows the opposite of what you're trying to say. They're not tossing them in the garbage, they are selling them, because they're still perfectly desirable. (Because not everyone winds up with grandkids to give them to, or wants to hold onto them until then.)
It’s true that on environmental timescales, all plastic is bad. But Lego is probably the most durable and reusable use of plastic for entertainment we have today.

Whatever logic brought you to the conclusion that reselling a thing means it’s no longer wanted is completely backwards. The fact you are seeing tons of Lego for sale online is because it’s so damn desired and valuable. Landfills are not filled with Lego. They’re filled with textiles from the fast-fashion industry and single-use plastics.

More and more of AWS is available to run on Graviton. It can often be cheaper to use the Graviton instances when possible. And why not, when all you're caring about is having a PostgreSQL RDS instance or OpenSearch or an Athena query, it doesn't really make much difference if its an Intel or AMD or Graviton CPU under the hood so long as the performance per dollar is right.

Microsoft And Google have had Ampere-based CPUs available for over a year. They're still very x86 heavy though.

And don't forget, if you're really craving PowerPC in the cloud you can get LPARs on IBM's cloud for another flavor of non-x86 cloud compute.

Yeah but I just don't fw webp and other weird formats. JPEG and PNG are tried and true, also it's nice how the extension indicates lossiness.

On the technical side, webp support still isn't like png. Tried dragging a webp into Google Slides just now, got "unsupported image type," which is ironic. I'll try again in like 10 years.
The closest Intel got to this was Xeon Phi / Knights Landing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon_Phi with 60+ cores per chip, each able to run 4 threads simultaneously - each of which could run arbitrary x86 code. Discontinued due to low demand in 2020 though.

In practice, people weren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and write CUDA code. If you wanted good performance you had to think about data parallelism anyways, and at that point you’re not benefiting from x86 backwards compatibility. It was a fascinating dream while it lasted though.
Yes, i'm pretty sure no more than 5% of breches and leaks gets public press.

There's so many internal company filters a breach has to go through to become public all the way from some engineer messing up and "just closing the terminal" with a beating heart hoping no one will notice - to a long chain of managers who has to send the message upwards, then the leadership approving public disclosure, all with negative pressure to not disclose because of career, stress, extra work, penalties, all the way to stakeholder value.
> Now instead of acquiring N numbers, the hacker needs to acquire N+3 (or N+4) numbers

This seems almost as reductive as suggesting my mechanic should keep her customers' key(k) in their cars(c) in her parking lot because instead of just acquiring c, now the thieves just need to acquiring c+k.

If we were talking about 3 extra digits on the card number, that would be one thing. But we're talking about a separate authentication factor, which seems pretty worthwhile to me. Getting that info isn't exactly a snap if you don't just find it laying around-- it's not like you can brute force it. I'd be pretty astonished if a credit card company didn't cancel someone's credit card if someone was tried a handful of transactions with random security codes, let alone enough to guess one number in a thousand.

Sure, there are undoubtedly better ways to handle these transactions, but lacking magic wands to change a giant dinosaur of an industry that should have wanted to change on its own, this is a prudent policy-based strategy to mitigate harm. Whether or not you sweat these breaches is a good way to gauge your own processes, but it's not a useful way to gauge industry-wide processes.
100 million MAU. and nearly the top of the app charts
The way I see it, the whole point of ROCm support is being able to service the many users who have pre-existing AMD cards and nothing else available. If someone is going to rent a GPU, I don't need to bother with adding extra features for them, because they can just rent a CUDA-capable GPU instead.

I'm considering adding ROCm support for some ML-enabled tool - no matter if it's a commercial product or an open source library - the thing I need from AMD is to ensure that the ROCm support I make will work without hassle for these end-users with random old AMD gaming cards (because these are the only users who need the tool to have ROCm support), and if ROCm upstream explicitly drops support for some cards because AMD no longer regularly test it, well, the ML tool developers aren't going to do that testing for them either; that's simply AMD intentionally refusing to do even the bare minimum (do a lot of testing for a wide variety of hardware to fix compatibility issues) that I'd expect to be table stakes for saying that "AMD is doubling down on ROCm".

It'll have wins and losses but win in the end...AI is the end game for humanity. Whether we can assimilate with the machines or be killed out by them is yet to be seen. Hallucinations are like jpeg defects from earlier image models they got better, many of the greatest mines are working on it. Claude has improvement measures to cut back, one thing is as simple as telling it is you aren't certain an answer is accurate it's better to say I don't know that.... Ultimately in situations with outdated data it'll be on the corporation or user to ensure only up to date info is accessible or at least have a versions system like git to track changes so it'll know which document version carries more weight.

As you said it's like Adderall or steroids....I think it's more like the Internet, how many business in 2020 had zero Internet presence? What about 2000?

In the end we will get AGI and then super AGI which will be as full proof as a human could ever be with a team of researchers and fact checkers because it'll be genuine intelligence and able to know and discern more intuitively whatever it needs to know to get the job done.

Uptime-related crashes seem fairly common. Here’s one of my stories, from Thanksgiving 2012: https://jacob.jkrall.net/turkey-day-down-time
I’ve seen a couple others since, but they had the same general shape so didn’t bother writing the same story again.
I have to admit that I would chose Kustomize any day of the week. I personally find it easier to debug, version, grasp what is going on behind the scenes and simpler to maintain and operate. Also, to be fair, I have to admit that I've had a few negative experiences with Helm that made me to develop a negative bias against it. The main one being, to make the story short: I, as a DevOps guy, had the unpleasant experience of having to take care of the deployment process of a HeLLm chart(s) pile of crap that a very opinionated yet not very knowledgeable (on DevOps practices) team of developers created in a company I worked for in the past. It was composed by a myriad of obscure charts, jammed together as a house of cards. If that wasn't enough, the main chart was being called from a bash script that called Ansible and it pulled some data from a repo and rendered values coming from a repo into the values.yaml. The process of deploying that thing implied, apart from a couple of good hours of your time, to also have to perform some debugging sorcery with kubectl (removing this, modifying that etc) in a meeting while screen sharing your terminal with the proud parents of that monster. Absolute nightmare that still giving me sweaty hand palms to this day.

Anyways, I want to take the opportunity to ask other DevOps in the room something: What workflow do you use for performing CD for a bunch of Helm charts? I mean, I guess you version a bunch of values.yaml files in a repo but how do you manage the installation of the repository from the CD runner and so on? I'm curious because from the top of my head, Helm implies the runner (the actor who calls Helm to install a chart) to install a repository and then install the package from that repository passing to it the path to the values.yaml file, but on a CD pipeline, this actor is usually a disposable container. Do you install during one of the steps of the CD pipeline the repositories from an in-house created script perhaps every time the pipeline runs? Are you hopefully using a GitOps approach instead?

Thanks in advance for any answer.
Just maintaining and keeping an already built platform running at its current state doesn't require many engineers. So if that is your only goal then cutting your workforce to a skeleton crew will probably work for quite a while. It's only when you want to add new features, explore new markets and/or find new ways to increase revenue that all those extra people become.

I don't know what all those people at Twitter where doing, but I have worked at large companies and many engineers where working on developing possible new products and revenue streams, many of which, for different reasons, never see the light of day. If you're just looking at it from the outside it looks like there are a lot of people literally producing nothing.

With all that being said, I'm sure there are lots of companies out there (including pre Musk Twitter) who could lose a bunch of people without it affecting their bottom line or long term productivity.
e/acc suffers from the same problems as Libertarian causes (not the big "L") - the proponents have a marketing and communications problem. e/acc is already a hard enough sell in the current ways that it is manifesting. But then the players involved are often seen as fringe.

VCs are not like normal people and do not communicate like normal people. Technicians (like many of us here) understand the intention but also struggle with translating it to the layman (my guess is this is also the reason bitcoin has yet to really have it's moment). In fact my SO, who is NOT a technical person, told me that AI/ChatGPT sounds just like Bitcoin in terms of "how does this benefit me". Then there's all the FUD (warranted or not) around it.

I say all this to mean that A16Z should also work to shape the message that their donees push. I don't know if I agree or like all the e/acc initiatives, but they don't seem to be doing a good job of selling it either.

Its...not. If I had to guess averages, the median is probably closer to 3, the mean probably under 10.

Most planes aren't commercial passenger airliners, and that's even more true of most planes involved in accidents.
>it is so expensive

That's how the product is made good.
I read the press release a few times and it's very confusing. The research paper is paywalled.

My guess is:

The "battery" is an atom that can be in the ground state or exited.

The two chargers are laser, let's call them A and B

A classic "battery" can go:

* Empty (total = 0) -> absorb a photon from A (total = A) -> absorb a photon from B (total = A+B)

or

* Empty (total = 0) -> absorb a photon from B (total = B) -> absorb a photon from A (total = A+B

But a quantum "battery" can go:

* Empty (total = 0) -> 50% absorb a photon from A and 50% absorb a photon from B and (total = (A+B)/2) -> absorb the other photon (total = A+B)

where 50%+50% is actually 1/sqrt(2)±1/sqrt(2) for technical reasons. (They are not absorbing the 50% of the photon.)

I don't understand the part of the weaker charger. If the laser A and B have the same frequency/color, then it does not make sense. If they are different, it is almost obvious because fine tuning the energy of the photons in the laser to the energy of the transitions of the levels of an atom is a good idea to promote absorption.

As I said, I'm guessing too much, so I'd be happy if anyone can post a better explanation.
Ah, Scientist to Journalist, the classical source for the term "Hallucinations".
The question is too broad, you need to be more specific.

I learned a lot of Physics watching youtube channels like PBS Space Time. That's much easier than buying a textbook.
I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.

I've been doing something very similar with some VFD displays. I've had the Oscope and the LA out, but mercifully haven't had to decap anything to figure them out (yet). Pretty much figure out the voltages (important!) and get an idea of the pinout and start by assuming an HD44780 or derivative and see how far you get.
