Wow, this is… this is amazing. I thought my system was genius only I could derive, but here you’ve got a ton of it written down, plus a whole bunch of other ideas that sound great - I love “ABZs” in particular, and the “three Me’s” is great. On that note, read some Extended Mind philosophy if you haven’t, originally from Chalmers I believe

Out of curiosity, do you think this is self-treatment for attention deficiencies, or just an effective set of strategies? In other words, is this a life strategy or a work strategy?

What I find slightly weird is that this has been technically possible with a combination of modern cryptography and physical infrastructure for decades but it's still so incipient.
One upshot of the current UK government being in such dire straits in terms of their popularity, and this scandal causing such a universal uproar in public opinion, is that they do seem to be bending to it and actually doing something. Enough? Probably not.

So they compile the C implementation of every opcode into templates and then patch in the actual values from the functions being compiled. That's genius, massive inspiration for me. It's automatically ABI compatible with the rest of CPython too.

Is there an similarly accessible article about the specializing adaptive interpreter? It's mentioned in this article but not much detail is given, only that the JIT builds upon it.

I wonder if I can skip the bytecode compilation phase.

I don't know about that but aesthetics isn't just something humans pay attention to. Many females in the animal kingdom prefer to mate with the males we, humans, also find the most beautiful.

For example birds of paradise: females picks the males we humans find to be the most harmonious.

Why do most find the plane in TFA fucking ugly? I don't know but I do certainly also find it ugly.

But what I do know is I don't want to be imposed ugly in my life and I don't want to impose ugly on others.

I'm siding with the birds of paradise on that one...
This is wonderfully cute.

I think the real money in brain implants is putting them in animals to make them do things like this.
OTAN is the acronym in French

Our company recently mandated everyone nuke their calendars of all recurring internal meetings to kick off 2024. Then, only add back the ones that provide value. It was a good exercise that definitely helped clear up my calendar.
Apparently it's the French term for NATO ("Organisation du Traité de l’Atlantique Nord"), directly translating to "North Atlantic Treaty Organization". At least according to some random website I found after a search.

I wish there was a rule that forced people to spell out an acronym the first time they use it, regardless of how much they think the acronym is common knowledge.

It’s clear that without Martin and Marc Tesla wouldn’t exist. They started both The Roaster and Model S (WhiteStar) and set the company’s trajectory to follow declining battery prices.

Musk’s influence however needs to be judged in context. He’s made many decisions that seriously harmed the company such as bailing out solar city and other that have kept things growing. So would Tesla have been better off without him? That’s a question he doesn’t want anyone to ask and being thought of as a founder is one way to sidestep those questions.
What is "world" in this context? I assume it's all users on that machine, but the term "store" feels like it might be online?
Uh, that sort of depends on what part of EU you are speaking of. The Romance countries does not have the same legal traditions as as the ones based on the English way (even if uk is gone, there are others that share tradition with them), and the Scandinavian countries are different to both.

I've never heard it said that after 10,000 hours anyone can be great at anything. I've always heard it said that it takes 10,000 hours to master a field - whether that be a subject, aport, art, or what-have-you. In this context "master" just means you have all the basics, you're competent and people would recognize your competency. That's a looooooong way from being great.
> My take on this is that lacking direct combat experience everything the Americans (and the West more generally) will come up with in terms of drones will be hugely inferior to whatever the Russians are now building

America doesn't lack direct combat experience with drone warfare, on either the side using drones or the side being targeted by drones.

Blatant market manipulation was preventing the ETFs. Then a court ruled that since the SEC mistakenly approved Bitcoin future ETFs they also have to double down and approve Bitcoin spot ETFs.
> they're pretty competitive with other domestic board houses

My complaint is that domestic board houses are super expensive, so I meant competitive with Chinese production. The person replying to me above said they are "marginally more expensive" but another commenter here went through the full quoting process and got a price that is about 8x higher than a reputable fab in China, which is not "marginally more expensive".
> decreased demand from Chinese markets

Makes sense. That was my other hunch as well.

Yep. Imo SK looks like it's entering a very turbulent political couple of years due to the DPK-People Power bickering. There has definitely been a fair amount of democratic backsliding due to a weaker civil society
I envy these small and steady improvements!!

I spent about one week implementing PyPy's storage strategies in my language's collection types. When I finished the vector type modifications, I benchmarked it and saw the ~10% speed up claimed in the paper¹. The catch is performance increased only for unusually large vectors, like thousands of elements. Small vectors were actually slowed down by about the same amount. For some reason I decided to press on and implement it on my hash table type too which is used everywhere. That slowed the entire interpreter down by nearly 20%. The branch is still sitting there, unmerged.

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for these guys to write a compiler and succeed at speeding up the Python interpreter.

I wonder if Google could build some custom variants of their search. That way they can use their underlying tech but reskin it to bias towards different things - eg favor local results, or scholarly, short form, or video/audio/text. Apply a lens or filter to results so we aren't all being served the same bland concoction of links.

Sure AI could do this on a personal level but communities are built around shared experiences so we might see some major labelled variants emerge that shape new communities.

Each could even have an internal product owner trying to beat the others. Its a simulation of competition which might drive some innovation from Google once again (assuming no real competition is breaking through that market domination anytime soon)

The internet is the way it is largely because of Google's algorithm and people shaping their content to appease it. If they allowed several to exist, we could have several internets also existing without the need for a new walled garden.
> Do people really just perpetually not know where to get something they want in the place they live?

No but a) people travel and b) the young post-college demographic is usually new to the area. By virtue of being young and freshly out of college. They really don’t know the city yet!

Personally when I travel my search for burgers goes straight to Apple Maps.
>for some reason this was not seen as a major problem back when we had websites and rss feeds

Eh this kind of discounts how the entire world has changed between now and then.

At one point online was something disconnected from who you were as in IRL identity. Really very few people posted back then (think tens of millions verses billions across the world). When you hung your modem up, that the online world and the real world were disconnected.

That seperated world no longer exists for any number of reasons caused by any number of actors. The real world affects the internet and the internet affects the real world, these are no longer separate entities, but things that are intertwined by billions of connected devices and sensors almost everywhere.

Quite often in the past middle sized sites got blasted by DOS attacks, and if your own small forum got a DOS/DDOS you could suffer some problems. Now, you don't even need an attacker to DOS most small sites, it's pretty damned easy to get search engines trying to index your site to take it off line, or for just random bots to be 99% of your traffic. People moved to big sites to avoid having to be said system administrators from all the crap that moved into the net.
There's a lot of AI "artists"[0] who think their text2image prompt generations are equivalent if not better than actually drawing or photographing an image.

Part of becoming an artist is learning how to evaluate your own work, break it down, and critique the shit out of it. When you jump straight to generating art with an AI, you skip the criticism step, which means you don't have a sense of taste and you haven't really explored what your preferences for style are.

A lot of AI art generators default to an extremely cinematic, "Hollywood" art style - i.e. exactly the sort of thing that is trying to look impressive to people who don't know better, and will make them overlook all the fundamental mistakes in the image.

[0] Normally I wouldn't scarequote "artist" here, given that actual artists do use AI tools where it makes sense.

Because of finite transmission capacity, the optimal place to put batteries is pretty complicated.

Consumption varies over time, and there can be bottlenecks getting power into an area, so you might want storage near consumption. Wind power is going to vary in how much it generates, so if there are bottlenecks getting power out of the area, you might want storage near generation.

Plus, bottlenecks can move around. For example, if two power plants share the same line to send power to two cities.

Each ETF needs to be approved by the SEC. You are welcome to submit an application for your restaurant reservations.

Historically the SEC has refused these grants for Bitcoin ETFs on the basis that the underlying asset does not have well-established spot markets and credit mechanisms. See for example [1].

Greyscale finally sued the SEC for applying arbitrary and capricious standards, and prevailed in federal court. But even so the SEC has not approved spot bitcoin ETFs (that is, ETFs that "physically" hold Bitcoin) but had only given guidance for cash-settled Bitcoin tracking ETFs. That makes this announcement a very unexpected surprise.

[1] https://www.sec.gov/rules/other/2018/34-83723.pdf

EDIT: And it does in fact appear that this is too good to be true. Looks like there was a brief spike up to $48k from the $46k baseline so somebody made out nicely on this little scam. Also goes to evidence that Bitcoin markets might be a bit too sensitive to manipulation to be suitable for inclusion in an ETF.

We are aligned on the direction of scale down.

I think my tweaks would be:

(1) lowering the lifetime for non pharma patents

(2) allowing forking from an earlier release of an extended patent

(3) give tax incentives for companies that will not enforce royalties for domestic manufacturers

(4) companies with small enough revenue cannot be sued for IP infringement

I could easily be talked out of these I think but right now this is what I would support

Absolutely. There have been several airline explosive decompressions in the past 50 years. The fatal ones have each had one fatality, even with crazy damage to the plane (look up Aloha 243) If you figure this incident "should" have had one fatality, if you figure 100 passengers per flight, that's a 1/150,000,000 chance of dying. Your odds of death are way worse on the drive to the airport than from this.

Since they're exchange traded it's the SEC in the US (or other regulators in other countries) who decide if an ETF is approved or not. If you can convince them that magic the gathering cards are traded in a market that's sufficiently compliant with their regulations, I don't see why not. Maybe if BlackRock & co were really into MTG card trading, they'd be more compelled to approve. Seems to have helped Bitcoin because it many have filed and all were rejected until those big name asset managers got in ;)

> On the deaths, you're counting only KIA.

Because those are the most directly relevant to the conflict. Service members dying in accidents or by suicide still happens at home, sometimes at even higher rates than it happens on deployment.

> And, again, it's also an endless money sink. We wasted trillions of dollars on Afghanistan and achieved less than nothing.

As you’ve noticed, I’m not an advocate of losing wars, especially not by means of unilateral surrender. The Afghanistan withdrawal was not a military decision because the military does not have the authority to make that decision. It was a political decision.

> China and the USSR supported the Vietnamese forces, but those forces were already "naturally" aligned. By contrast the South Vietnamese government was just a an inorganic puppet government.

This explanation does not fit the facts. It is inconsistent with the failure of the Tet Offensive to inspire a large scale popular uprising in South Vietnam; it failed in this objective because the people of South Vietnam were not, for the most part, sympathetic to the communists. It also doesn’t explain the vast scale and utter desperation of Vietnamese refugees fleeing the communists as they overran the south of Vietnam. If the people of Vietnam wanted communist rule, why were they so desperate to escape it?

I was/am a fan of the R language. I was in fact working on a reactive R IDE, distantly related to R markdown, largely for fun. However, with ChatGPT, that changed my focus to using python more, since ChatGPT provides so much help in the use case of data analysis. For me its use in python offsets advantages of R. And R Studio/Posit was trying to generalize into Python even before ChatGPT. I am sure that must have some impact on the company.

Could you explain? I think we’re having a different discussion than the million dollar predator drones that shot missiles at western Asia from a mile up. And to say that defending against ISIS/Houthi/Etc. drones is in any way similar to the experience Ukraine and Russia are getting seems wrong. But I’m probably misunderstanding?

In general I’m not 100% convinced by “they use drones so they’re better with them” but it’s plausible. We’re also involved with the Ukrainian side, to say the least, so I imagine we’re getting some detailed intel on their effectiveness and shortcomings.
