Suppose someone else went out the door, walked back in, and went to your work area. Were they then considered to be in the work area and so could talk with you without you having to leave and come back?

You’re partly right. I own two luxury watches (worth about $10,000 total). One of them is a Rolex. I wear one every day and yes I use it many times a day to look at the time because it’s less annoying than looking at my phone. Of course, a $10 quartz watch keeps time better. I bought these because I like what they look like, owning nice things is enjoyable, I want to support craftsmanship, and they hold value well. They’re not really a status symbol because 99% of people I interact with don’t know or care anything about watches. I would definitely be upset if they stopped being able to keep time because then I wouldn’t be able to wear them.

The ones you noticed
We are located in the SoCal Area. Since the building was under 12 x 12, no permitting was needed. The cost for the building itself was $5000. I had the electrician run power (1 20 Amp circuit) and install some lighting, that was $1600. To have the drywall installed was around $800. I believe we spent less than $100 to paint the interior.
Unless there’s some evidence that the legal system (which isn’t responsible for homelessness) is enforcing business rules instead of helping starving, cold children… then that’s a false dichotomy.
Oh this is actually very cool. I didn't know about Transient or that I can create a custom workflow menu. Will be really nice for, just like the article, those commands I don't remember or that have vast numbers of options.

Thank you for sharing, I found the article very useful.
The point of luxury goods is exclusivity - I've got a real one because I can afford it and you can't, it doesn't matter that it looks the same or even is the same, it not real it's not expensive.

Luxury goods turn economics on its head, the whole point is to overpay for a good which has little in the way of marginal return, to illustrate your wealth and "status".

I'd just call it idiocy or at least pretentiousness, and their counter argument would be that I'm "envious".
It's frustrating tbh.

I'm very interested in the Corvette EV due in 2025. But knowing how much Chevy limits production of the Corvette Z06, I imagine they'll put similar road blocks in front of the EV.

There's elevators, gears, levers, belts and chains and stuff in there. Pinsetters are full of pinch hazards and move multiple pins and balls around at the same time. It's not a trivial amount of force, especially if you consider how the tension in a chain translates to a crushing force if you get in between a sprocket and chain, or how the the force in a 1m long arm lifting a 1.5kg pin translates to a crushing force at the centre of rotation. Not to mention the machines are beefy and have to withstand parts of them being hit by 10kg bowling balls. A quick google search indicates a pinsetter machine weighs more than a ton. You could easily lose your shirt, finger or get your hoodie strings caught in there. You'd have to be unlucky to die but it's happened.

"Just restricting the force" doesn't work because the force at pinch points will be huge in normal operation and the extra force to slice your finger off at a pinch point would be noise compared to all the other forces.
> When adjusted for body mass, we burn 20% more energy per day than chimps and bonobos, 40% more than gorillas, and 60% more than orangutans, Pontzer and colleagues reported in Nature in 2016.

In contrast, $345.95 in 1975 is worth $1974.43 now.

Also, "To save you a watch"? ;-)
Yes, this is true, but almost no luxury watch is quartz (unless you count Seiko spring drive which is hybrid quartz/mechanical). So when people compare e.g. Rolex and Patek movements they are comparing mechanical to mechanical.
That's so weird.

Whatever helps you understand!

I personally prefer the "area of shapes in a plane" model. The sample space is a rectangle with area 1. Events are shapes inside the sample space, with probability equal to the % of the area of the sample space covered. The probability of intersection of two events is the area of the intersection of their corresponding shapes, and likewise for unions.

Conditioning on B is like treating B as the whole sample space. So what's the conditional probability of A given B? It's just the % of B that is covered by A. How much of B is covered by A? Of course, that's just the intersection of A and B. Then we divide by B to rescale that area relative to B, rather than the original sample space.

This "group by" model says something similar of course, but the "area of shapes" model I think covers a more general case while also being a literal mental picture that just about anyone can hold in their head.

Yeah, people who are into watches don't actually look very highly upon Rolex owners, especially people who own a submariner. The message it conveys is essentially, "I have some of money, but nothing interesting to say."

"you're paying the biggest upcharge for name, and nothing much else."

You're also paying for the design and R&D. And the capability to have the Swiss continue to be able to make watches. The ability of your country to continue making something, even if it doesn't make economic sense is undervalued.
Standard theft, as in the individual is stealing for themselves, not on behalf of a criminal organization.

Other losses include things expiring, getting misplaced, miscounted, etc.

Say, for example, a shipment is received and signed for, but there were only 99 boxes, not 100. Or maybe one of the boxes has the wrong product.

It could easily get overlooked for a long time and only really show up at a point when it's anyone's guess as to whether it was stolen, lost or never received.

That doesn't happen as often, but it does happen.

Results will definitely be contested. Especially if Trump is running, but even if not. "Find every possible grounds and contest" is too ingrained now.

Currently, I'd say it's 50/50 whether the election leads to a direct clash between armed groups supporting opposing candidates. (Note that I just mean street violence, not a full-out civil war.)

A Rolex watch will roughly cost $600 to $1000 USD in servicing every 10 years to run properly (plus an upfront cost of, let's say, $10,000 USD for a certain model of a Rolex Submariner), whereas the Apple Watch Ultra (choosing a high-end model) will cost roughly $799 USD to purchase the latest version every four years or so.

Dollars-wise, there is not much of a gap between the two over a lifetime (unless you skip the servicing of a Rolex watch, which increases the odds of a breakdown and costly repair).

The main value of keeping the same watch would be sentimentality, as shown in the film Pulp Fiction. But the main advantage of mechanical watches over Apple Watches, it seems, is drawn from their aesthetics and an appreciation of their design—rather than as a practical preference based on cost.

If longevity and practicality were the main concerns, a Casio watch—such as the famous F91W or updated alternative with a better backlight such as a W86 or F201WA—would be a better selection.
It's the same thing as the OP isn't it?

Not everyone wants to send all their data to OpenAI or Microsoft. Sometimes it isn't legally possible even if you want to. And not every use-case is blessed with a permanent internet connection.

You don't generally buy a luxury watch for its accuracy.
That sounds like a no true Scotsman's frontier to me. There's nothing about "beginning of a strong growth curve" in historical or colloquial definition of frontier, nor did most people coming there settle there for that reason. Most frontiers do not guarantee a nice payout even if you break your back. It's just that the ones that do are the ones we write books and make movies about.

Kleptoplutokakistocracy.

The problem is the corruption of a system that cannot be reformed from within because foreign governments pass out gold bars to senators and billionaire crooks want it this way, while the masses have their consent manufactured to believe it's good for them, their neighbors are their "sworn enemies" for being part of the opposing tribe, and everyone else is against them because anomie is for all who are nobodies except celebrities. It's easier for fools and the dumb to believe in the flat Earth, antisemitism, demonize Muslims, or immigrants are coming to replace them rather than be honest: they're lashing out because they don't feel heard, but also that they're not doing anything constructive and hoping for a superhero, a lottery ticket, or a boorish politician to solve their problems for them.

I can't help but notice the connection here though, your complaints certainly sound like attempts to conjure up and condemn the entire collective to explain your dissatisfaction. It might be worth reflecting on that.
Why on earth would a Rolex AD want to sell watches online? The regular pieces e.g Submariners are out of stock 99% of the time, and once stock comes in there's waitlist with 500 people. For the more expensive ones that are in stock, I doubt many clients (outside of scalpers) would be purchasing those sight unseen. Doesn't make much sense to me. It bad for ADs and customers, really only benefits scalpers.
In regards to the lighting.

> "best lighting is actual daylight in front of you ... Replacing the existing office lights with very warm toned lights"

So Daylight is good, yes. That's 5500k to 6500k, depending on how you measure it. It's NOT very warm-toned; in fact, it's cool white. The lights linked are 2700k. You can use them, but your camera is just going to try and compensate for the yellow hue. If you're going to buy something specifically for lighting video calls/recording, you should find something daylight with a higher CRI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-CRI_LED_lighting ). You don't need to go crazy, but the difference between those $1 LED's and the $20 LED's you see at the store, is probably the CRI.

If you want GOOD lighting setup, go for 3 or 4 point lighting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_lighting -- You don't need a huge number of expensive lights, just lights set off to the side. Personally, I hate ring lights because they are designed for you to put the camera in the middle of them. If you have glasses, all you can see in the camera is the ring reflection. Even if you don't have glasses, you're now staring into the center of a giant blinding light. No thanks.
1. Attention is quadratic with context length; RNN with gating (LSTM, GRU, etc) are linear, as are all these new architectures. Early RNN used gating to avoid exploding gradients, these new ideas use theory from dynamical systems that guarantees stability so the gating can focus on memory, rather than solving two problems at once.

2. The models released in the last couple of weeks running up to neurIPS23 (Mamba and Based) included a multi-query associative recall (MQAR) and data-dependence in the gating/selection inspired by multi-headed attention. It turned out these were the main missing ingredients compared to earlier state-space (Hyena and earlier) architectures and made these new models as good as attention in associative recall tasks, and potentially even slightly better than attention in other non-lookup tasks. Of course the huge detail in mamba is the efficient implementation on CUDA; without it the architecture may not make much sense for tasks where transformers are already appropriate.

3. If one does not have to worry too much about context length, a lot of new domains open up: DNA-sequence analysis is a linear task with long dependence; think of analyzing images, videos, or higher dimensional info in terms of streams of tokens (scan the pixels in the way of an old CRT monitor). The early dreams of AI included a continuously evolving single learning trajectory of an agent interacting with an environment continuously, so maybe such dreams will be easier to realize with these infinite-context-length models.

bonus: you didn't ask for it, but as of today the downstream applications of these models for important/practical tasks are largely untested/untuned compared to the rather mature applications of attention, so there may be a little delay before people figure out all the tricks for how to use large pre-trained models of these types. The analogy to the old RNN helps to a degree, but people had super specialized to attention and transformers the last 5 years, so there is a lot of momentum in favor of transformers.
KeepassXC and KeepassDX Guide
We didn't see anything obviously wrong with the part. One bit of communication with the microprocessor was flaky, so it was probably a weak transistor. The consequence was that the Z80 attempted to look up a command in a lookup table, but the command wasn't there so it ended up looping through all of memory, hanging the floppy drive.
Good replica is nigh impossible to distinguish with real one without a real one to compare. But they are not identical to the real one. In fact each good replica is manually assembled and you get to QC your actual watch when order (via photos).

That is to say if you have a real and a replica to compare, there is no risk of mistaken between them. There would be difference which you could easily recognize.
That is of course true, but not the argument I was refuting.

You underestimate the sheer number of small retail stores. Every town, no matter how small, has many.
Yes. It’s especially interesting to hear people say this when some states in the US are larger than some countries in Western Europe. For example Texas is slightly larger than France, and Montana is slightly larger than Germany. Of course, crossing state boundaries in the US does not introduce you to as much diversity as crossing many country boundaries in Western Europe. However, when you consider there are 50 states in the US, it should be reasonable to understand there can be substantial differences in habits and lifestyle.
Disorganised theft, damage, mislaid, lost
I don't think people mean literal short positions. The safest way to do this would be to buy long-dated PUTs, and roll them if necessary. Not that that's free -- which goes to your "irrational longer than you can stay solvent" point.
And that's what we did. I was working for a Rolex AD for about 10 years, and they were an AD for decades. One day they got fed up with the 'rules' and dropped their AD status and started selling Rolex on the "secondary" market. These were never worn watches in original boxes and papers and in no way different than the watch we sold as an AD. Just second-hand. We suddenly had access to the inventory that our customers wanted when they wanted it, and told Rolex to get stuffed.

And yes, watching objectively well off people argue about luxury items as if it's important is always entertaining to me.
My view now is that tests are mostly there as additional documentation and a form of cross cutting type checks. You have two functions with various parameters and then you write a unit test to document how these two functions interact with each other and you make sure that a certain beaten path remains working. It generally won't catch any bugs whatsoever but it's like having it documented that this is in fact a path and it is supposed to be there and it should remain maintained. Almost like a map of streets and thanks to the map you know that these paths are there and they need to be snowplowed even though maybe you don't remember why exactly there is a street here. It just is and you want it to remain in functioning order anyway. Even in teams I've not really seen unit tests catch any bugs but that may be because once you've written the code with tests it's so well documented and the purpose is so clear that people aren't going to forget how things work anymore. At that point most people won't "run into a wall" anymore because they can see the wall now.

A Rolex is likely still working if you buy it at an antique market. Apple, not so much. They'll be non-functional and useless well before they could be even considered a 'classic.'

That's also illegal in most jurisdictions. It's called "restraint of trade" and it's illegal because it interferes with the normal functioning of a free market and disadvantages consumers.
