>It’s important to note that Incase isn’t getting licenses for all of Microsoft’s PC accessories.

>So it’s not a license in the sense where we’re just getting the name to use, we’re continuing the exact same products.”

>Around the time of Microsoft’s announcement, the company began having conversations with its designed by Surface partners to let them know it was now more focused on third-party companies manufacturing PC accessories. “On that phone call we mentioned we would be interested in stepping into the shoes of those products,” says Tebele. “Conversations evolved pretty quickly.”

I think this is a very good direction and outcome. But it worries me this was not the initial planned route. As much as PR likes to state it is not a reaction to the market response. They did only wanted the surface brand with very selective Surface accessories. Considering out of all the department at Microsoft, Hardware was the only department I consider high quality and one of the best in the market.
Because some people believe that if filing taxes would be easy, people won't object to paying them. There's are multiple groups, all donate a lot to certain politicains, and all are hell bent on trying to eradicate taxation.
Unemployment is obviously just one of many metrics.

I would like to see a chart with overlays of GDP, unemployment, average CEO-to-worker-pay-multiplier, average congressional and presidential election campaign expenditure, average net worth increase for different brackets (including top 0.1% individuals), etc.

I highly suspect that the CEO multiplier, campaign expenditure, and 0.1% net worth increase lines would move similarly... and would imply that they are more significant indicators of how (poorly) the normal people are faring compared to other/previous years.

> I can write dozens of pages of highly analytical and technical text without making mistakes in real time. I can speed read complex texts and memorize them with a high degree of precision.

> From the “language” perspective I feel highly gifted and unusual. Not so much on the mathematical side. I almost have a disability with mathematics.

I feel this. “Rough draft? LOL why? I can write a perfectly-structured paper beginning-to-end without having to re-arrange so much as a paragraph, and I don’t make grammatical errors or spelling mistakes that I don’t catch instantly. What’s the point of all these ‘writing steps’?”

Around age 35 I started occasionally making errors in typed text, and not noticing until re-reading it. Leaving out words. I started substituting homophones! I never, ever did that at all, before! Aging sucks.

[edit] I feel, specifically, the brilliant-at-language and hindered-at-math thing, that is. The rest of this, I’d say you’re a fair bit brighter than me. I just took to language naturally very early and have crazy-good spatial reasoning. I feel dyslexic trying to read math, though. I do OK as long as things are algorithm-focused, which is why I can have a career as a programmer, but when it’s equations and proofs, forget about it.
What you say is fair, and that's why I don't put all the blame on the scientists. Only most of it :)

In particular, Table A shows that even with the downward revisions, the unemployment rate has been below 4.0% every month of the year (up through November); and in only one month (October) was the revision significant to increase the reported unemployment rate.

No, this isn't it. It's trying to take control of the actual act of doing the thing. Being self-aware about its harm doesn't count.

So, you'd have to realize what you're doing before you get out the cigarette. The aim is to do it without relying on the compulsion so that the compulsion will eventually go away.

It's not about "failing". Boeing lobbied for special treatment to save some cash instead of fixing a safety issue. For that, the death penalty is appropriate.
Thanks, this is great info!
It's almost comically evil at this point. Boeing actually argued that the victims didn't experience any suffering, because they died on impact.

So in your final screaming moments as you hurtle toward the ground, be comforted to know that the ultimate perpetrators of your death will say your terror never even happened.

It's hard to finance a browser engine. And you can't just write a quick one. It takes lots of resources.

There's also the difficulty of getting your development money back given the dominance of the two big ones, chrome, and Firefox.

It took google, with all of its resources, years to write chrome to give an example of how hard it is to write one.

Writing a game engine is much easier in getting resources and payback.

I concur with some of my sibling comments but decided to reply to you directly. I hope you give yourself some slack. My advice is simple and terse. Express yourself more tersely. Listen maybe more than you speak. Write your feelings and reactions down instead and then throw it away. Maybe choose to raise those opinions effectively another time. It's direct advice but I hope it helps. That's my take based on what you've written here.

That was a good article & video, Julia’s linked post was also a great read. Though it goes without saying that getting a professional’s advice on these matters can pay dividends – pardon the pun.

I would love to see a startup offer a budget to new hires to get advice from a financial advisor, of the employees choosing of course. Something like “we offer a reimbursement of up to X for new hires when they submit a receipt from a qualified financial advisor…”.

I think that it would be particularly useful to young hires or those new to startups.

Who's hiring nuclear reactor design engineers?

NuScale got too expensive even before they broke ground for the prototype. Who knows what it would have cost by the time it started up.

If you want nuclear in the near term, build more AP1000 reactors, like Vogtle. They work. If someone ordered ten of them, they would be much less expensive.

The US had one of these scandals too. nobody was arrested, no one charged. Tammany Hall politician Alderman Michael Tuomey, known as "Butcher Mike", defended the distillers vigorously throughout the scandal—in fact, he was put in charge of the Board of Health investigation.

The guy basically ended all investigation and shielded all guilty parties.

If you change the endpoints on that graph to 1985 and 2000, the drop in spending in the 1990’s is a lot clearer. 325 billion to 287 billion is a sizable decrease—about 11%—, especially in non-inflation-adjusted dollars. It only looks small compared to the post-9/11 increase in spending, and a larger share of that spending was operations rather than procurement.
The BLS revises monthly employment figures when it receives data late; in 2023, every month (except December which I think has not been revised yet) has been revised downward -- meaning fewer new jobs were added than initially reported. I'm not sure how it compares to previous years, but as I point out in my other post, it is not enough of a difference to push the unemployment over 4.0% at any point in 2023.
It’s terrible writing AND I have bad taste*
>that all inefficiency is caused by governments

Forget about the evidence of other countries (which is completely valid), I just hate the argument that government inherently because it's government is inefficient and will never be effective

In the US half the people in charge of the government hate it and want it to fail. Of course it's going to be bloated, inefficient, and costly. It's being sabotaged from the top. If everyone agreed that, once we make a choice on what the government is going to do we should do it well, we could have government services that are just as effective as whatever private enterprise example people always like to cite (being from the South it's usually the Chick Fil A drive-thru)
Not to mention that such an IQ is not simply several "mental years" ahead of people who are at 100, it's a qualitative difference to which the 100 cannot catch up.
You sound similar to some of my experiences, high IQ though I don't have Asperger's.

So I would say I agree with many people in power need to be "the smartest person in the room" and will do their best to derail or ignore you, which limits your success.

But to your comment about isolation and no one wanting to interact with you, TBH that's most probably Asperger's or your personality, not that you are some genius that people are jealous of.
The problem is called regulatory capture. And it’s by our campaign finance system. And that’s a result of unhindered capital accumulation by a minority.
Ok, but Georgios himself would have been repressed in the Soviet Union. Likewise, anyone who had original, creative thoughts. You could only "excel" within the ruthless confines of ideological conformance.

This is completely wrong. Boeing did make the changes to include input from two AoA sensors, they did change the system to prevent recurrent horizontal stabilizer movements, they did include a manual shut-off.

What you are talking about has very little to do with MCAS. Congress required any new aircraft type certified after 2022 to include an Engine-Indicating and Crew Alerting System.

It was never even intended to apply to the 737-10, but because the certification took longer than expected, it became likely the -10 would fall under the regulation, which would cause pilots to have to be re-trained for the -10.

All of this is only peripherally related to MCAS.

It is. The percentage is wrong; the “only two or three every forty years” is right (by construction, IQ has a mean of 100 and stddev of 15).
It would be nice for us (the masses) to believe that it is likely wrong, so we can sleep easier knowing that 'everything balances out'.

However perhaps this is an uncomfortable truth, that we may or may not choose to face.

Parent was talking about root cause, not cause.

In the US, corporations, through campaign contributions, lobbying, etc. have influence at all levels of governance. In the end this requires money above all.

The conclusion that the system (including the judical one) is rigged in favor of such coroporations has "something" to do with capitalism isn't too far fetched.

Or for the case at hand: your point would be that the 346 people didn't die because of Boing taking shortcuts for profit; they rather died because their resp. planes fell out of the sky? ;)
No conspiracy needed when the perpetrators are on video to tell you what they have done. Why do you think this is a conspiracy? What would such a conspiracy achieve? Who stands to gain from it?

I'm curious percentage wise how many people are having to file returns with their city or county. I've lived in two states (Alabama and Georgia) and even in a city with an "income tax" at the city level and have only ever had to file federal and state taxes

In Alabama the county and city I lived and worked in both had what they deem occupational taxes which are effectively an payroll tax, but there was no system of exemptions or refunds, it operated as a payroll tax only. My employer had to file the taxes, not me

I suspect the vast majority of people in the US only ever file state and federal returns, although a lot of people live in small states or along state borders so a lot probably have to file two state returns
AFAIK 145 IQ is three standard deviations above the mean in a normal distribution, and only 0.3% will have that score or higher, so I think the article is off by a factor of about 4.
It is a refundable credit
It seems like you're using words like "objectively" and "reality" carelessly as synonyms for "true" which they simply are not.

We can be sure it is objectively relevant because it is what people are experiencing, which is of course reality. If you can demonstrate that there is some other non-employment related reason people feel this way, does that mean they don't feel it? Or are somehow wrong to? Where does that even get you?

Maybe there is something else! There are probably lots of things going on. People keep saying this is affecting them though, and we have to believe them that it is.
On the usual IQ scale 145 is 99.865 percentile. In 2000 (50 per year x 40 years) you would expect 2.7 with that IQ or higher, so that part seems right.

I think what is going on is that when it says "top 1.33% for the test he took" it is referring to some test given to children who are already known or expected to have high IQs, and on that test people with IQs of 145 are 98.67 percentile.

>Most countries have some kind of local or regional taxes, and the single tax authority is responsible for collecting and distributing them all.

Most states operate this way. Counties will often collect city taxes, and in some states the state will collect the city and county taxes. There are obviously exceptions but within states there's a lot more cooperation than you might think

And most individuals are not paying income taxes to cities or counties, they're paying property taxes and that is typically automatically handled via their mortgage company
My comment was suggesting that it's more than just a "lightweight" HTTP/websockets/MQTT library.

The majority of the things I list are optional features of the core library (rather than examples) enabled by cmake flags, some of which look to be enabled by default:

option(LWS_WITH_JPEG "Enable stateful JPEG stream decoder" ON)

I would be slightly surprised if I saw a dependency on "libwebsockets" and found that it brought in a JPEG decoder, for example.

All these extra features may imply that it's grown past its original goals, and that the other bits and pieces could be split into smaller parts, etc.

In this video I will be explaining Mamba, a new sequence modeling architecture that can compete with the Transformer. I will first start by introducing the various sequence modeling architectures (RNN, CNN and Transformer) and then deep dive into State Space Models. To fully understand State Space Models, we need to have some background in differential equations. That's why, I will provide a brief introduction to differential equations (in 5 minutes!) and then proceed to derive the recurrent formula and the convolutional formula from first principles. I will also prove mathematically (with the help of visual diagrams) why State Space Models can be run as a convolution. I will explain what is the HIPPO matrix and how it can help the model "memorize" the input history in a finite state.

In the second part of the video, I will explore Mamba and in particular the Selective Scan algorithm, but first explaining what is the scan operation and how it can be parallelized, and then showing how the authors further improved the algorithm with Kernel Fusion and activations recomputation. I will also provide a brief lesson on the memory hierarchy in the GPU and why some operations may be IO-bound.

In the last part of the video we will explore the architecture of Mamba and some performance results to compare it with the Transformer.
