You'll get your public IP, it won't signal whether you are behind CGNAT or not.

Check your WAN, if it's in a private range then you're behind CGNAT, likely going to be 10.0.0.0/8 for most ISP's but all the other private ranges count too. Otherwise it will show a public address that matches your "whats my IP" website.

It's hard to prove that they are a bad driver, since they did pass the existing driving test (at least once).

The fact that they're a bad driver is only provable after they're in an accident from their own fault. And even then, it's only grievious fault that they get banned from driving (such as drunk driving).

However, this standard is not applied to autonomous driving, since they can pass the human driving test and yet is not accepted as capable.

Basic income allows that, in fact, a big argument is that, compared to conventional means tested welfare, it enhances that for people currently in the lower end of the income distribution.

Very thoughtful post I feel that properly looks at local state and how to make it viable from a scalability standpoint. However, anyone else on train of local state = just bad?

The common argument against global state all the state is that some local state bookkeeping becomes too cumbersome, just like the article mentions hence the need for things like hooks. But, in practice I found paying the cost of build a global state render pipeline pays well in the long-term.

Typically, you only need to set it up once (and Clojure's data-oriented core makes that cost enjoyable even), and once you do get gain huge leverage for those cross-cutting UI/UX concerns (hide all modals when a fatal error occurs, check all form elements for validity before optimistically saving values, close all sidebars to make room for a payment modal, etc.)

the entire architecture is like if you started with the typical architecture for social network, but then got rid of the organizational perimeters. the atproto instances (PDSes) handle primary data storage, key management, and request routing. they're otherwise quite dumb, which as divy is saying makes them cheap to run and also general purpose for other kinds of applications.

Universal basic income (UBI) does not mean everyone is fixed at the same income. It means everyone earns the same basic income, and on top of that - and without affecting that basic income - they can take a job or do whatever to earn more.

I've been running frr (free range routing) for networking, using ospf layer 3 routing between my hosts. This allows dynamic routes to be populated throughout and makes a switched layer 2 network optional, since switches tend to be expensive and obnoxiously loud and a star topology is not necessary with a layer 3 network.

I like the Supermicro Xeon D boards because I can power 6 of them off a single power supply (the GPU cables can be converted to a 4 pin cpu).

I also use systemd-nspawn (w/ dnf --installroot or debootstrap) or docker to attach instances to the network, where each has it's own layer 3 address distributed by frr.

> An oversimplication would be to liken it to barbed wire.

A more apt explanation would be to liken it to diatomaceous earth vs. pesticides. Insects can develop resistance to poisons, but when they cross diatomaceous earth it pierces their waxy exoskeleton coating and causes them to lose moisture, dry out, and eventually die... and evolution hasn't found a way around that yet.

For me it started when they began to monkey with the search entries and "second guess" what I was searching for. My guess is that they lost track of unvarnished human interaction and things snowball from there. That's just my hunch. People gave up trying to actually rely on it. We've all learned that Google doesn't care.

Basically it used to be optimized to be a sharp knife but now it's optimized to be a safety knife.
Though if they didn’t say they were doing that we wouldn’t know the method was invalid. Further, that other video would have its own existing uid, so in theory we could know if they’d duplicated it to thwart these measures.

This is a critical problem of our time in my opinion. Persons are approached as static unchangeable objects, as if their trajectories are deterministic and what you're doing with these models are resolving the trajectories like a telescope or microscope. Measuring the substance of the person so you can extract from them.

The other schema is one where you're modeling manipulation effectiveness, to probe and predict how you can best (most effectively with the least resources) achieve some change in the trajectory. Engineering a person. It seems like we really only think of interventions as trying to return someone to some baseline condition, rather than to try to improve people beyond the baseline, to invest in them.

The paper has a bit at the end about using it for personalized interventions but
it feels performative, like lip service. I know one of the authors professionally in a distant sense so I think they're probably genuine about it, but I can't help but wonder how the paper might be different if intervention was actually their focus. Wouldn't they be modeling changes in trajectories, the deviations or something?

Less than half of Americans graduate college, but there’s a widely accepted set of norms around the “college experience.” Villagers in India aren’t taking high stakes tests to get into college, because college isn’t open to them. But if it were they would be doing the same thing.

Put differently, in the social class of people for whom college is attainable, it’s not like there’s a huge fraction telling their kids “oh, don’t worry, just do what makes you happy.”

Wait a second. If the IDs are all allocated in a contiguous block, and the author samples the whole space at random—then the estimate will converge to the correct value. If, on the other hand, the IDs are allocated at random, the estimate will also converge to the correct value.

If you believe that there is some structure in YouTube video IDs, that would have no effect on this experiment. It would just reduce the fraction of the total address space that YouTube can use. This is a well-known property of "impure" names, and it means there is a good chance that the IDs have no structure. In other words, the video IDs would be "pure" names.

For a mid tier developer at a public company. yeah it is. Until your like senior staff +, your still just another replaceable ic stuck listening to hr rules. Your not making demands or negotiating your employment contract.

The idea of having the cut off so low is detached from the realities of hiring at large companies and how much actual leaders in these companies are making.
The beauty of this method is that it doesn't matter. Even if YouTube generated sequential IDs, the researchers could still sample them fairly by testing random numbers.
Seize the means of computation
The videos they find also show view counts. This allows them to estimate (very roughly!) the view counts across all videos, because it allows them to see the distribution.

"the point"

You made two points right next to each other, about sample size and bias, and the sample size point was invalid.

When called out on that, you don't get to move the goalposts and say that the second one was "the point" and the other person is "missing the point".

This is such a clever way of sampling, kudos to the authors. Back when I was at Pew we tried to map YouTube using random walks through the API's "related videos" endpoint and it seemed like we hit a saturation point after a year, but the magnitude described here suggests there's a quite a long tail that flies under the radar. Google started locking down the API almost immediately after we published our study, I'm glad to see folks still pursuing research with good old-fashioned scraping. Our analysis was at the channel level and focused only on popular ones but it's interesting how some of the figures on TubeStats are pretty close to what we found (e.g. language distribution): https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2019/07/25/a-week-in-th...

Auto-remind developers to edit another block of code
For higher wage noncompetes I thought they were often compensated, which is another way of drawing a line for what is legal and what isn’t. In finance, where a lot of your income is in bonus, you would maybe collect your full salary for the length of the non compete but no chance at bonus. “Gardening Leave.” Never heard of such a thing in tech, but I am assuming Wall Street, where non competes make more sense anyway, was a large influence on her.
This is fair -- the newest token can attend perfectly to the oldest token, within the context window.

but also, on a broader scale, if a transformer model is presented with a long input that does not fit in its context (e.g.: you are building a chatbot, and you have a very long chat history), it must "compress" or "forget" some of that information (e.g.: repeatedly summarizing historical messages, dropping them and appending the summary at the beginning of the input).

Mamba/RWKV/other "recurrent" architectures, can theoretically operate on unbounded input lengths; they "forget" information from earlier tokens over time, but is that not comparable to what a transformer must do with input lengths greater than their context window?

No, all it suggests is that he didn't know how to stand up for himself. He went along with allowing his insurance to pay for it.

To quote the Reuters report again:

> Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

People struggle to integrate what's true. Take you, for example. You can't get your mind around the idea that Tesla is in fact a grubby company that lies routinely. Tesla keeps lying because it can rely on people like you who simply refuse to believe that Tesla lies.

Tesla lies about full self-driving. Look, in 2016 Tesla said "as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." That was a lie : https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

1 million robotaxis were promised for 2020. That was a lie: https://www.thedrive.com/news/38129/elon-musk-promised-1-mil...

What you linked was a "devil's advocate" position from kvark, not his balanced personal opinion. At this point the decision against SPIR-V was already made and he was not trying to get anyone to change their minds back.

> By all accounts, Apple's /only/ stance was that if WebGPU used SPIR-V it would be a non-starter for them

This is false. Apple's other stance, very strongly stated, was that no binary IR of any kind was acceptable, full stop. Lichtso's original comment is right. Apple explicitly rejected "GPU WASM equivalent or an alternative bytecode format", not just SPIR-V. They would only accept a textual programming language.

Now Apple didn't mandate WGSL, but clearly they wouldn't have accepted GLSL either for their unfortunate legal reasons so that pretty much leaves WHLSL or "new language" as the only options. I don't know why WHLSL ultimately lost. I remember hearing arguments that HLSL as a language was essentially implementation defined rather than rigorously standardized, making it hard to realize any benefit of code portability or reuse from existing codebases.
