Yes, it is convenient for potential victims of genocide that calling for genocide of those people is considered calling for genocide. It's also true. "From the river to the sea" is calling for the genocide of Israel population. It was known before, and Hamas proudly demonstrated it just now, there can not be any misunderstanding what they meant.

The lines on the flag have zero to do with rivers, it's a symbolic representation of a talith, a prayer garment, which can be seen in any synagogue. Try to get a bit of factual information before you go around spreading nonsense.
It was even faster in practice because the software was less bloated.
I admit I know barely anything about the subject (but I took an interest in Burton as a younger man): is The Perfumed Garden not "dirty", ie erotic literature?

I recall the One-Thousand-and-One Nights being quite bawdy (talking about lusting after well-endowed servants, IIRC); maybe that's not authentic Persian literature though?

Maybe I misunderstood "nobody has ever read or heard about it"?

Can you help me better understand your comment, thanks.

Transformers don't need quadratic memory for attention unless you scale the head dimension proportional to the sequence length. And even that can be tamed.

The arithmetic intensity of unfused attention is too low on usual GPUs; it's even more a memory bandwidth issue than a memory capacity issue. Just see how much faster FlashAttention is.
Fair point.

However the idea is not to put myself on a pedestal. I am not special. Not only I have my own flaws, of course, but if you think I try to put myself on the same level as Leonardo da Vinci, which is true in some way, as we are both people, I also put you on the same level as Leonardo da Vinci.

I don't know you, but like me, you are probably not a genius people will hear about half a millenium later. But you probably have some qualities neither I nor Leonardo da Vinci have. And on these points, you would make a better role model.
It really depends on the percentages, so I can mainly speak about Germany:
For example you have a revenue of 100.000. If you have a limited liability company (UG or GmbH in Germany) you pay 30% taxes on the profit, so you have 70.000 left at the end of the year. If you want to transfer it to your personal account you will need to pay additionaly taxes of 25%. So you are left with 52.500.

If you directly pay yourself 100.000 as wage it is fully deductable as company expense. So you don't pay any company taxes and would only need to pay income taxes of ~25.000.

So a payout as wage you have 75.000 instead of 52.500.

For both values at least in Germany you would also need to pay health insurance and possible for pension. (Health insurance at least additional 8.000 - 10.000).
Happy Holidays, everyone! I know it might sound a bit cheesy, but I'm truly grateful to be alive and kicking.

If you take a complicated social issue and reduce it until it becomes a one-dimensional question, of course it sounds stupid.

Imagine a foreigner learning English and asking "Why do I have to care if people are male or female? What a sexist language! Nobody cares about genitals in my culture!" And they start to refer to everybody as "he", regardless of, well, genitals.

They won't come across as more enlightened, transcending the shackles of sexist English grammar.

They will simply sound like a poor English speaker.

Why is that sad? It takes more energy to extract aluminum from bauxite with electrolysis than it does to recycle used aluminum. Same with steel. Depending on the source, 30-50% of aluminum and steel made in the US is from recycled stock.

I've tried that. One by one the stores near me stopped accepting batteries.

Even the municipal recycling center, where I sometimes take bags full of paper or plastic bottles, refuses to take batteries.

It should be FAR far easier to do.
Medical schools hire Standardized Patients specifically to prepare students on how to talk to people.

https://cisl.stanford.edu/standardized-patient-program/for-s...

Of course, some students learn these skills better than others. And even doctors who have good communication skills are under so much pressure to see more patients that they may not have time to talk much. If they only have 8 minutes with a patient then they have to get right to the point instead of letting the patient ramble on.
It's a rather surprising thing.
I wrote my own front controller, and used htaccess rules to direct all requests there instead of to Wordpress. If the front controller deems the request safe, it just hands off the request to Wordpress. Otherwise it quarantines uploaded files (if any), and responds with an error. Lemon squeezy.
> You can't just switch off and oon a nuclear plant. It is not good as a backup solution.

That turns out not to be the case. For example, the French stations are built so they can easily manage a much larger range.

However, this is backwards. Or as I put it elsewhere: if the logical choice in a particular situation is a really stupid choice, you need to examine the decisions that got you in that situation.

Although turning nuclear power plants on and off again is possible, it is stupid. Just keep them running! The illogical choice that gets you in the situation that nuclear is "a bad fit" is making an unreliable, unpredictably intermittent power source your primary. That just makes no sense whatsoever.

> two worst accidents and one half.

1. Even with those accidents, nuclear is still among the safest power sources.

2. The negative effects of the accidents were far less than is generally assumed in the wider public.

3. The Tchernobyl reactor was inherently unstable. We don't have any inherently unstable reactors in the West. And last I checked the RMBK-1000 was retrofitted to no longer have the instability. And Ukraine is not just keeping nuclear power, but is among the states that have pledged to expand it 3-fold.

4. The Fukushima reactor was damaged by an unprecedented Tsunami that killed 15000 people. Whereas the reactor accident itself killed zero. We don't have Tsunmais in Europe, and if we ever get one, the reactors will be our smallest problems. Just like the reactor was the smallest problem with the Tsunami in Japan. Oh, and Japan has also pledged to expand its nuclear generating capacity 3-fold.

5. The deadliest accident of a power-generating technology was a dam that broke in China in 1975. It killed >15000 people, destroyed upwards of 4 million homes and displaced 11 million people. Not only did no country whatsoever get out of hydro-power, the accident is virtually unknown in the West.

6. The Bhopal chemical accident killed upwards of 4000 people and injured half a million. No country disbanded their chemical industry as a result.
Just curious, how would that ballpark number be helpful?

This thread has inspired me to do further research and explore monetizing/selling some of my side projects. I am curious how a ballpark sales value is useful...
It's strange that I have the opposite feeling while consulting.

I work for a "big tech" company and do consulting work on the side, and it's the former that has all of the Slack/Zoom/Agile/meaningless nonsense -- with consulting I feel as though I'm actually solving a problem for a business in a meaningful way.

I guess all consulting gigs aren't created equal - I guess I've managed to avoid the bad ones so far.

The best would be probably to let the company cover the PC / tablet / phone costs as they are business expenses and payout yourself the remainer as long as long as you can still increase your business operations.

A good tip I once got was that you should always try to get money out of your company while you can - having it on your personal bank account is better then in your companies one.

Of course this advice may have been tailored to my needs somewhat.
The Chinese-sensitive political hashtags are somewhat straightforward (they are topics that one would expect the state to be sensitive to), but there should still be a systematic procedure for choosing them to avoid biased sampling and post-hoc comparisons. The problem is more apparent with the controls: where do they come from? How were they chosen? Without this information there is no way to determine whether the categories are truly representative and whether the sensitive topics are really unique.

The era of magazines in general has pretty much drawn to a close.
I don't remember a single instance of a mass protest on campus or in the streets, in US or in Europe or in Israel, where the protestors would demand that Israel occupies Egypt, Iraq and Syria, throw their population into the sea (or into the desert) and establish a Judaic theocracy on the freshly liberated land. I can believe that whatever is meant by "Greater Israel" among 8 billions of people would be some that support that idea, because any crazy idea can find a person crazy enough to support it. However, comparing this idea to the level of support slogans like "from the river to the sea" enjoy right now - with thousands openly proclaiming them, and on many campuses also proceeding to attack Jewish students under them - is just non-sensical. There's no "Greater Israel" movement worth talking about seriously - but there's very much movement in support of genocide of Jews, and it's very visible and prominent.
The process takes less than five minutes and can help treated solar panels recover up to 5 per cent of their lost field performance.

5% of 10% loss. Unless it's bad reporting, and it means regain 5 of the lost 10 percentage points. If it's the literal meaning, it's a tiny incremental improvement.
The primary operating system for the Cray-1 was the Cray Operating System (COS), which was a batch processing system. COS was specifically designed to exploit the hardware capabilities of the Cray-1, focusing on high-speed computation rather than on features like multi-user support. Given its focus on scientific and mathematical computations, COS supported compilers for languages like FORTRAN, which was the dominant language for scientific computing at the time. The Cray FORTRAN Compiler was highly optimized to take advantage of the Cray-1's vector processing capabilities. There was also a set of mathematical libraries optimized for its architecture. These libraries included routines for linear algebra, Fourier transforms, and other mathematical operations critical in scientific computing.
Back in the day we had to rely on magazines for information, the books in the library were too old to cover the new stuff. Then it was BBS dialup filesharing boards, then the internet became a thing.

My first exposure to programming in the early 80s was copying in a BASIC game from some magazine. I read Byte Magazine for Steve Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar and dreamed of buying an IBM compatible. Dr Dobbs Journal was just an incredible eye opener into the world of serious compute science / engineering , particularly Mike Abrashs column on 3D - it was a black art - and a series on implementing unix.

It was great to see Linux Format and game mags in the early 00s, but I guess all good things evolve. Back then we would have wanted infinite information at our fingertips, one device to be a camera, mp3 player and phone all-in-one .. and flat screens that you could lift with one hand, so Im not complaining.

I do worry that young people just see the magic, and dont learn how things actually work under the hood .. I think Scratch and Minecraft are wonderful in this regard because you get to construct things yourself.

If we humans can build all these amazing things .. theres a chance we'll get our collective shit together and address climate change.

This is true, but it really limits the ability to highlight the current sentence visually while it's being read, which is great for language learning and for reducing cognitive load. I actually spent a lot of time trying to get the timing as precise as I could to make this feel as natural as possible, and I think the effect is really nice!
The lack of I/O to the cpu might be the counterpoint to this. A single (exposed) PCIe lane might be enough for any singular task, but you're likely to start bogging down your bandwidth if you need to do any serious simultaneous tasks like network above a gbit, nvme disk IO, additional display or additional parallel computing like a GPU.
It's renormalization.
I am confused because this seems like another case where the hype is orders of magnitude greater than any publicity about what this thing can actually do that is of wide usefulness, not just a fun toy to play around with.

Rather than trying to create EFB resistant European varieties (Corylus avellana), another approach is to concentrate on developing naturally-resistant American varieties (Corylus americana) with larger nuts. Since these varieties are also more cold tolerant, the hope is that this will allow a hazelnut industry in the North East.

As others have said, you provide the audiobook (which could technically be something you generated yourself with TTS!) and Storyteller syncs it.

That's correct; it requires the ability to analyze the actual contents of the ebook and audiobook, so they can't be locked down with DRM. This is unfortunately pretty limiting, but at least for audiobooks, online stores like libro.fm have pretty massive catalogues of DRM-free audiobooks!

You had to be there and experience the severe underwhelming emotion of yet another Clive Sinclair oversell. Late delivery, underperformed and semi illegal.
This was the emotional nail in the coffin for many.

Sinclair was a proto Musk, over hyping his deliveries. We had an op-amp based hifi kit, noise levels off the roof and blew 3 power transistors fixing earthing issues in his design and build instructions. The Sinclair programmable calculator which won a V&A design award for its styling had bad 4bit trig arithmetic logic which could not calculate the reverse of its own functions to the same value. The Sinclair QL tapedrive units.. the list is endless.

AFAIK. it hasn't been copied in that form very widely, instead, it was popularized by TV (Dragnet specifically, IIRC), and so is culturally attached to police in general, despite the vast majority of departments with any motto having different mottos.

Every time I hear "hur-dur economy less than Italy" (mostly on Reddit, ofc) I always remember a funny trivia: there are more pensioners in Russia (40M+) than everyone in 15-65 y/o gap in Italy (36M).

So yes, economy size without a tie to the population size and social, geographic and other measurements is.. misleading at best.

You -might- have a slightly higher proportion of “bad ones,” but you would also have a system with less of a capacity shortage. In turn, the harms from lesser practitioners would likely be less, and you could more readily suspend for misconduct.

Some of those we consider bad ones might even be considerably better under a little less time pressure.
