We did not negotiate perks, we simply refused to move from our existing conditions when new treaties were negotiated.

i.e. we stayed with something close to our entry conditions, accepted some changes from new treaties. So the "opt outs" were really declining to "opt in" to new treaty terms.

Any new entrant to the EU has to accept the whole Acquis as it is at the time. So if the EU would have us again, we'd be in the same position as the most recent entrant, plus all of the changes which have happened since.

They (Boris) tried to be bold but there are a lot of practicalities to deal with.
No way. Remain was supported by people who thought of themselves as Citizens of the World, not citizens of Britain. Their biggest complaint is not being able to freely live in Paris or Brussels like they could under the EU paradigm, and they don't care about sovereignty being eroded because they don't physically make things. The EU rules about how curvy your Bananas or Cucumbers are allowed to be is irrelevant, as they are in the Jet Setting Zoom class and can do their job anywhere
>If your only contribution to a business is giving it money, you are essentially always better sticking that money in the stock market.... the idea that you can beat the market with no special benefit that you bring to the table is a fantasy as old as capitalism

I feel like EMH is increasingly becoming a strange & unfalsifiable quasi-religion for some people. I believe even the strongest forms of EMH cover publicly traded stocks, and not investments in privately held companies. Are you saying that it's literally impossible for me to invest in a local gym, real estate development, plumbing company, landscaper etc. and not beat the US equity market's average return of 9% a year? Because that's obviously ridiculously untrue. The main reason why I can't price say Apple better than the stock market can is the absolutely staggering amount of global competition to do so. But there's exponentially less competition to invest in a smaller, privately-held local business- I'm not competing with hedge funds and so on.

I'm a Boglehead, and the good parts of EMH have a lot of wise things to say about the impossibility of pricing individual publicly traded companies better than the broader stock market. But super-strong EMH has become a bit of an intellectual cult, and I see people way over-extending it into domains that it was never supposed to cover. It's becoming like a learned helplessness 'it's impossible for anything to be profitable because EMH'
Because it's symbolically where the totality "enters" the United States.
The article is mostly about franchisees getting ripped off, but I think an important theme is that any business focused on physical fitness often is the fad of the moment, and can be difficult to sustain itself for long because of the need to have customers paying memberships forever. Customers start out thinking they'll always go to the gym or dance studio or whatever, but most inevitably drop out. My advice: stay away from fantasies of owning or investing in membership physical fitness businesses or venues.
Oh really? I thought BLIS was from TACC. Oops, mea culpa.
> You can deterministically just take the highest score or you can randomly sample in a way that makes it more likely to get a token with a higher score, according to different schemes.

Ah ok, so it's like the difference between greedily always taking the shortest / highest value vs using A* and exploring alternatives in hopes of finding something better? That probably doesn't line up as a metaphor as it isn't "exploring" or running multiple parallel generations.

And it employs the method in the layers so that the benefit can be amplified rather than only employing the method in the final layer / output when it selects the output to take

You’re translating the problem from : searching through branches that are named according to their ticket and what they are meant to accomplish to: complex and not-context-free git bisect.
That gestalt can easily be smoothed out. You simply need to prompt LLM to do so in your query. Tell the LLM to depart from its default style. Say make your response more brief, well written and add a witty conclusion at the end

Then you say rewrite the final paragraph to be slightly shorter and incorporate a certain example. Yada yada.

Likely you can even do this "write your response in a style that is not typical for an LLM"
Jio only gained prominence in the early 2010s. While yes it did definitely help in getting more Indians access to cheap data plans, the country by and large has had a large English speaking population connected to the internet – enough to prominently show up on graphs – since well before that.
I found using recursive CTEs incredibly slow for assembling tree data from a normalized representation. It would make getting the results of a query at least d times slower for assembling the path of nodes d deep in the hierarchy. The upside was cheap tree edit operations but those were a lot less frequent than reads.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I've changed it so that slashes will be accepted in place of spaces.
I agree that it would be nice to have sub 35k cars but I’m surprised people in the fields and levels you mentioned have to put off buying a car for financial reasons. When I first started working more than a decade ago I was making 60K and didn’t think twice about buying a 25K car. Multiply the numbers by 2 to adjust for inflation now and it should be similar.
My parents got suckered into Amway back in the 80s and a lot of their generation repeatedly fell for other "run your own business" scams. I always hoped future generations would prove to be more cynical and less gullible and these kinds of things would die. But the next generations seem to be falling for them too, in even greater numbers, plus the modern versions like leadgen and dropshipping "businesses," NFTs, and other online scams. Not sure what can be done about it. It's not technically illegal for a fool to be parted from his money.
It's trivial to purchase the games legally on GOG & Steam so this does not seem particularly relevant
Books and games are different. Books is just text (mostly) so there is no expectation of anything else. It is art.

Games are entertainment. So they are supposed to have higher levels of engagement over time
You are taking a massive corporate risk by bringing in someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

Do you believe that any of those countries are monocultures with exactly one skin tone and sexuality? Or that those languages are spoken in exactly one country?
They should have required a "double majority" - both a "Leave" majority nationally, and a "Leave" majority in at least three out of the four constituent countries. Then "Leave" would have failed. Obviously, they should have announced this rule before having the referendum.

There is precedent for this - Australia uses effectively the same criteria for constitutional amendments (both a majority nationally and a majority in the majority of states). Although, unlike Australia, the UK doesn't have a written constitution, and isn't formally a federation (although devolution has given it quasifederal features), the UK definitely needs something like that given the extreme lopsidedness of its population (one of its four members, England, being roughly 80% of the total

I am an empathetic fellow.

I understand that people are under cost and time pressure.

But if you buy a fuse set on Amazon to save $10 off what a fuse assortment kit costs on Digikey, you are getting exactly what you paid for.

The signs are obvious: a nonsensical name like HOODOOVOOKOO, sold by BLXXYUSA a seller specializing in children's socks and fuses, quantity listed in "pieces", an obviously cheap plastic box, a ludicrous quantity at a per-unit price that is absurd.

Amazon is giving you what you want: the absolute cheapest possible item in the fastest possible time.

You cannot be angry at them for giving you exactly what you want.

If you cannot be bothered to spend more than 4¢ per fuse or spend more than 15 minutes researching the product, is the device you're protecting even worth replacing the fuse on?
>I'll also note, we've massively reduced the number of migrants coming from Eastern Europe, this is something that we literally could not legally do while in the EU.

It sounds like that researchers should just learn to properly code.
Failed in what sense? The article leads with questions about improved personal finances and NHS - but were those things the goals of Brexit?

Do voters feel like they'd be better off back in the EU, or would have been better off never leaving?

Maybe they should ask the survey participants what THEY think the goals of Brexit were, and then whether they think Brexit has achieved them.

I don't really know, as I don't live in the UK and didn't follow Brexit much except for a few headlines. My (low-knowledge) impression was that it was more about control, sovereignty, and chaffing under Brussels.
"Surely museums will now change their policies?"

Ha, hardly! All they'll do is make low resolution photos available and restrict anyone other than themselves from taking photos (or gaining access to do so) on grounds that the images may be damaged, will fade etc.

We now need laws to ensure the photos are accessible and that reproductions are in full resolution state-of-the-art quality.
My guess is we won't actually rejoin but the coming Labour government will undo some of the more stupid brexit changes.
No, you certainly are not living your best life.

Now is an arbitrary point as it is not the times which limits your quality of life, it is your good taste and self determination which is lacking.

Your best life would come by your fullest awareness that you are the source of most anxiety and want.

Sure, there is deprevity and want in the world yet it is so very far away from the average these things might as well be a fluke.

Consider, that NOW is a magical time in which our homes are safe, with running water, electricity, heating and cooling. Abundant foods of every variety and intrigue brought right to you (or at least your neighborhood grocer.) a time of mechanical wonders that can transport you (and all your belongings) great distances, even through the air! Things which make your life equal to that of Gods (or royalty) in ancient times.

Now isn’t your problem, knowing how to live is your problems.

Try living lean, without over leveraging. Choose good taste and lifestyle integrity rather than convenience or habit.

Take good care of yourself, as your health and mental well being are the greatest assets in this life! And while you’re at it, treat others well!
It’s fascinating living in a country whose legal system treats vowing before God to stay with someone exclusives until death as absolutely meaningless but will treat a smiley face picture as a legally binding statement.
I tend to have a sinking feeling whenever this topic comes up because there's a lot of religious fervor around federation in particular that is completely divorced from reality and practicality.

But, the section of this on federation is remarkably level-headed and pragmatic. It's not a panacea and it creates a lot of friction and new problems that otherwise wouldn't exist.

And this is before you get into the benefits for the end-user, which are typically none.

The profit motive will always build a wall--technically, operationally--or an "enclosure", if you will, legislatively or politically. The only ones committed to "openness" or "open source" or "open access" are those who have already lost in the marketplace, which is why people say things like "open source is for losers" [1].

If we look at what works it's collective ownership eg Wikipedia. As another commenter shrewdly noted, this is a political not a technical problem. It's about the workers relationship to the means of production. It's who gets to capture ("exploit") the value created. And that's not a political statement. It's just materialist analysis.

But people don't want to hear that because they see themselves as future bag-holders and collective ownership threatens their ability to one day be at the top of the ladder, even though (most likely) they'll never be at the top of the ladder.

Even with reputable brands on Amazon I’m wary of getting counterfeit products. I recall back in the day the good feeling of ordering something on Amazon, knowing you ordered exactly what you wanted and it would arrive quickly. These days I trust Ebay more and never buy on Amazon hah

You only need one recursive CTE typically and you can encode it into a view that you join against. It just sucks for performance when you have millions of nodes.

I'm not an expert in the field, but is feeding the model its own output a good idea? Seems like it would only increase weights that are already present in the training data and make it harder and harder to break out of it, ending up with generic output that matches all of its other output in the long run.

Regardless, I'm not saying it's a perfect idea but it's definitely a start, especially when the current reality is that they're just stealing all the artist's shit and everyone gets $0 instead of $100. As you said, artists are no better off in that universe, but the worst case possible for them is what's happening right this very moment, where they just get fucked over with 0 compensation.

Then there is the argument that the rules around fair use aren't even reached because the training of the model doesn't even do anything that requires a fair use exemption.

It shouldn't matter how the images/etc are created. The problem comes about when it's used as an original work by the person that's doing so.

Imagine instead of AI/ML, we have a mechanical-turk-like service that produces output from descriptions. The service makes no claims that the generated outputs are not similar to any copyrighted works. The only claim the service makes is that they themselves claim no copyright on the output. It's then up to the user of the service to determine if the output is suitable for their intended use.

Whether such a service itself is legal is a separate matter. For that matter, say you outsourced the artwork to a person who again gave you infringing work. The user of that output is still in violation. With AI/ML we're basically outsourcing to a 'service' that is known to sometimes output copyrighted work so with the user knowing that, are responsible for fair usage.
Agreed, but to tackle the problem from that perspective would require making LLMs a public good, preferably run by the state, akin to public libraries. This could not only solve for the copyright problem, the state may even make it mandatory for publishers to contribute their published writings to the public LLMs. I'm sure libertarian tech bros have that in mind when they insist on open source development (which then opens another whole can of worms when you consider interpolative knowledge as intellectual nuclear fission, but that's another story).
Agreed. Developers - and by extension communities of them - tend to come up with technical solutions to problems, regardless of whether the problem is technical in nature, which invariably either don’t work at all, or make the situation actively worse when the technical solution is weaponised by those at fault in the first place.

I’m not sure how we address this, which is a pity because even an uncertain response would be better than the “confident technical solution” we often get thrown around.

I saw an example of this recently during the test of some large DC fuses for solar: https://youtu.be/6o9tbhgtws4?feature=shared

Some are slow burn fuses and don’t pop until you exceed the rated amperage for a long time and by a lot of amperage. Not really what I expected. Some of the fuses do work like you’d expect and pop when they exceed the amperage by a minor amount.

There's a reason retailers have buyers who are experts in their domains and try to buy the best products optimizing for quality/reliability/price. I much prefer to buy things from stores like Target and Lowes now, because I can't rely on any reviews on Amazon anymore. The reviews are all fake.
It's really nice to see this IAP course! The lectures from last year are great!
You really covered a lot for a month, even for MIT students. I keep finding great stuff like, oh yes, they reference Ott for EMI right away in layout.

I particularly appreciate the slides for "Hardware's not dead".

It would be cool to do some advanced topics in physical modeling of circuit boards - electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical/reliability.

Some internal links to the 2023 site are broken, and some google links too. It took me a bit to find the motor lecture from its mention on your technical resources page.

Some notes on resources:

If you're going to take a board to production, the Coombs handbook is nice to have handy. IPC standards can be helpful also, and you might access to them through your library.

For batteries, there really isn't a single reference as useful as the Linden handbook.

You mention Ott for EMI/EMC in lecture 3 already.

For motors I have found Fitzgerald&Kingsley and the old Electro-Craft handbook particularly useful. The Electro-Craft handbook is one of those fun old books that has crisp control theory block diagrams you can pretty much enter directly into Simulink and run.
Yep. I used Bitwig with Yabridge for a year or so. There are a few weird ones that really don't work, but things like the Arturia suite worked OK.
What doesn't make sense? They don't want AGPL code to accidentally end up anywhere that's publicly accessible, and a lot of the code in their monolith is used across many different products, so a blanket ban seems entirely reasonable.

What motivation do you think they have to lie about this?
I am sympathetic to your structural take, and also to the parent comment

No. The motive is to make sure that even if some of them fell to the
"dark side", there wouldn't be a way to destroy the efforts of those
who choose not to make a profit.
it’s pretty irresponsible and probably illegal to do that, it’s dangerous because now you’re impeding the first cars ability to see oncoming traffic or turn timely, as well as making it harder to see possible pedestrians crossing.

waymo can also take way tighter gaps that most humans would find dangerous, it’s really just not that consistent yet.

Biggest change in mentality I saw moving from SMB to enterprise is that in SMB I just kept bought through consumer, often on sale, sometimes used, and kept extra stock.

Enterprise as little as a 8gb sodimm is treated as un-obtainium and costs like $200 or something because it’s special compatibility tested and supported ram. I would see hundreds of 1080p monitors replaced with… hundreds of new 1080p monitors from a different vendor because management bought everything as a package deal form the vendor. The monitor was treated as an essential part of the vendors enterprise offering and one couldn’t very well use another vendors monitors with their docks.

This is one of the points made in Patrick Lencioni's "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team", which I've always found a valuable read.

A warning, though: it's a "business fable", where he gets his point across by telling a fictional story. Business writers tend to be pretty terrible fiction writers so it's corny, but it also makes it a pretty light read.
