i think this has to do with DMARC. i received messages from mailgun and spotify about this stuff.

what enrages me as a small business owner is that this is another project i need to do. add DMARC to our domains. and next year it’s something new. companies like google can push their bullshit pipe dreams onto the world and get away with it.

NPR is very much implying the "paupers grave" is being used by the police to dump "inconvenient bodies"

Bettersten Wade told the anguishing story of how, months after she filed a missing persons report about her son, Dexter Wade, she was finally told that her son was dead at age 37. The police also told her that county officials had buried him in the local pauper's field, she said.

Police investigators said Dexter Wade had been struck and killed by an SUV driven by an off-duty Jackson Police Department officer on Interstate 55, just hours after his mother last saw him. The police report said Wade was on foot at the time.

Naturally police investigated and determined it was all an accident, neglected to inform the family, and had a bit of a red tap boo boo with the paperwork.

These things happen.
My memory in the naming traditions was also that men got their own names but daughters were just given the family name with a nickname to distinguish, which is incredibly dehumanizing.
Obviously.

There is nothing more ignorant that to be pessimistic just because of being in the midst of another crisis.

It is your fear and instincts speaking, not reason.

Because logically- mankind had never had a crisis that didn’t end up with another phase of growth that reached new heights.

No reasons to assume things are gonna be different just because you witness it.

It is exactly because of crisis things get better afterwards.

Google's biggest problem is lack of good strategic decisions at higher levels of management, their higher up management are not committed to anything and the company is run as chaos without any clear goals.

They are often late to the game and then they try to do a rip off of the other tech companies services and they fail.

Those that are really good services, they don't have the vision to stick with and improve until it works. They expect to get to a billion users in 2 years else the project goes on resource deprivation and then cancelling.

They are starting to hit the cap on advertisement market, filling Search results and YouTube with crappy ads, hurting user experience. YouTube had turned into a house of pain because of the number of ads. You cannot keep growing Ads revenue year after year by 20% indefinitely.

Their Deepmind folks overpromise and underdeliver. Their Gemini model is not even as good as GPT3.5 in benchmarks, let alone GPT4. And their folks don't really care about the products, they want to work on cool AGI stuff instead. They have been promising AGI next year for the last 10 years if not more, yet their model cannot even compete with GPT4.

Bard has few daily users, and no paying users, while OpenAI has over 100 million daily users.

No one is really responsible to user experience, the company is built from a bunch of dysfunctional silos don't their own thing competing with other got resources, no one knows how many chat apps they have launched to users and then killed. People get promoted through a dysfunctional system by hoarding resources and growing org sizes without delivering value to users.

Internal incentives for engineering and project folks are set towards launching new things, not delivering value to users.

They don't execute well because of mismanagement at higher levels and they are trying to address execution problems by laying off people who ended up working on the wrong project that the upper management was highlighting a while ago in their earnings call.

Their Cloud is doing ok, but they are far behind AWS and Azure from market share perspective and Azure seems to be growing much faster.

Their CFO is stepping down after cutting a lot of projects and investing and losing billions of dollars in real estate during covid and doubling the number of employees in 2020.

There are rumors that Sergey Brin came back to help Sundar Pichai deal with challenges but it doesn't seem to be working so far.

The relationship between their higher management and general employees seems broken and dysfunctional. The employees do not believe in the upper management.

Overall Google seems to be in big trouble. The future for Google doesn't look bright. They are likely going to end up like Yahoo!

Wikipedia tells me that high voltage lines transmitting 1GW at normal grid voltages will have losses of about 1% over a distance of 100 miles, which is honestly quite a lot. That's 100kW per mile.

Oregon is only a couple hundred miles across, so it's feasible, but with more losses than I thought when I looked it up to answer you.
No. I think I’ll probably manage OK, but in the US at least it’s going to be pretty grim for a lot of people unless something drastically changes.

I agree that it gives off an over-engineered vibe. I think part of that is that a lot of the "Getting Started" docs don't give you a feel for how to use the framework. It's more along the lines of "install this package and create this esoteric config file and this very particular telemetry logging will work". That's not a particularly useful walkthrough unless I have that exact same use case and want nothing more.

This makes me think about the Roman Republic. Yes, it failed in the end, but the idea of having two Consuls is appealing to check each others ambition. As an aside, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast has a multiparter called Death Throes of the Republic which is highly entertaining.

Cop kills someone (allegedly by accident) and then the police bury him in a pauper’s grave and don’t inform any relevant parties.

tl;dr: the official video shows the Cybertruck beating the Porche at 1/8 mile marker but by extrapolating the 1/8 times of a Cybertruck, Porche and Cybertruck + Porche (6.94, 8.38, 8.25), the results would be 11.0, 11.5, 12.2 respectively.

I guess we'll just need to wait for someone to repeat the experiment to see if the 1/4 claim is still true. The basis of this experiment was to repeat a previous experiment where a Model X beat an Alfa Romeo 4C while towing a 4C: https://vimeo.com/253258542
The NBC article they link to (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bettersten-wade-dexter-...) says that it wasn't the just family making repeated calls to the police asking about the guy they hit, the coroner’s office was too. There was something very wrong with that police department.
I bought my partner a Sony camera and lens for Christmas.

Ironically, I have trouble imagining being able to think properly with an inner monologue. If I try to plan my words rather than just let them flow, I almost always stumble and become incapable of selecting the proper words.

If I'm reading something very very difficult, like a research paper in a field I'm only just getting my feet wet in, I will actually vocalize what I'm reading to help me figure out what I need to look up. But this is only when I'm confused.

To answer your question further down about sanity checking, I just know what know, so a sanity check involves me verifying that yes, indeed, black is the minus terminal on both batteries and red is the positive terminal on both batteries, that is my visual memory is correct. That said, a lot of people have remarked that I'm pretty deft in my actions. So maybe it's related?

It's hard for me to generalize about my experience as it seems very natural to me and I haven't really had a lot of exposure to others like me, so I don't know what parts are necessarily about me being me, and which are about me not having mental imagery(for lack of a better term). I get the feeling that an innervoice is kinda stressful though? I'm a very relaxed person by nature. The concept of "negative self talk" is completely alien to my brain.
> The prosecutor can refuse to prosecute a guilty party.

But this is intended as one of the checks and balances. If the legislature passes an unjust law or one with unjust applications, the prosecutor can exercise their discretion and not enforce it, acting as a check on the tyranny of the majority.

You could remove prosecutorial discretion and require prosecutors to proceed against anyone someone wants to file charges against (let the judge and jury sort it out), but now you're making a trade off against something else.

Notice that this applies to any of the rest of it. Congress could refuse to pass a law that makes sense because their cronies benefit from the status quo etc. But the concern here is that the government has an unprecedented capacity to do harm because it exercises a monopoly on violence. If the prosecutor's buddy is a serial killer, you can still exercise your right to self-defense, or avoid being alone in public. If the prosecutor's buddy is allowing your company to not pay you for hours worked, you can sue them yourself, or quit. All while lobbying the government to replace the prosecutor. If you're falsely imprisoned by the government, what are you supposed to do?

Everything on Amazon is shady knock-off garbage.

I made the mistake of buying bandaids from there, they looked like a brand name but slightly off, they gave my kids rashes.

I made the mistake of buying LED light bulbs from there, the brand name was reputable but who knows if what I actually got was the same brand or a copy, they started flickering and randomly going out within a year.

I made the mistake of buying an LED monitor from there. It turned out to be some third party seller with a ridiculous return policy, so even though I had been conditioned to think Amazon had good return policy, now that they let third party sellers set their own policies I had to eat 30% of cost to return it.

No more Amazon for me.
> It isn't a simple majority. You need both houses of Congress (which were originally representing separate interests) and the signature of the President, or you need two thirds in both the House and Senate to override a veto.

The simple majority I'm referring to is about both houses of Congress in isolation. In the House of Representatives you need 218 out of 435 reps, while in the Senate it's 51 of 100. That's what I meant.

Either the rules of Congress are superfluous (by requiring only a simple majority in each house to pass a law despite the existence of the fillibuster/gridlock), or the fillibuster/gridlock is an obstructionist, absurd, and potentially unconstituional tactic.

> Supersonics already have a small cabin and high fuel use.

Well, supersonics don't fly anymore. But if we are talking about the Concorde, it had an excellent fuel economy when cruising. It had a horrible fuel economy when taking off, which resulted in overall bad fuel economy. But 6 decades have passed since Concorde was designed, there is no law of nature that says aerospace engineers can't improve the takeoff fuel economy of a supersonic jet with the computer power available in 2024.
I built a pipeline to automatically cluster and visualize large amounts of text documents in a completely unsupervised manner:

- Embed all the text documents.

- Project to 2D using UMAP which also creates its own emergent "clusters".

- Use k-means clustering with a high cluster count depending on dataset size.

- Feed the ChatGPT API ~10 examples from each cluster and ask it to provide a concise label for the cluster.

- Bonus: Use DBSCAN to identify arbitrary subclusters within each cluster.

It is extremely effective and I have a theoetical implementation of a more practical use case to use said UMAP dimensionality reduction for better inference. There is evidence that current popular text embedding models (e.g. OpenAI ada, which outputs 1536D embeddings) are way too big for most use cases and could be giving poorly specified results for embedding similarity as a result, in addition to higher costs for the entire pipeline.

Upvote downvote system for Git repo
When i try to search for ready to use tools, I search on github, many times I find large number of repos promising to provide the functionality I want, so I clone it, follow instructions and realize that its not working. Is there any way we can find (may be upvote downvote similar to stack overflow) that the repo code is working correctly and we can use it if we follow the instructions in the readme file. In short I want to know if someone used this repo and it worked for them. Kind of product reviews on Amazon or something similar so I can reliably clone and use the repo. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I love this, but Im using DataSpell from JetBrains at the moment because it has 2 killer features:

1. Variable viewer so I can see the current value of all variables in scope.

2. Interactive debugger

Maybe the variable viewer is only important because Jupyter notebooks don’t track and rerun dependencies? So I wouldn’t need it with Marimo. But the interactive debugger is priceless.

Any plan to add debugging?
The important and overlooked distinction is that the choice of underlying model in the product ChatGPT is not the same as calling gpt4 via the api.

The example was consciously made like this to illustrate clear limits of resources. While I support freedom of movement in general, it for sure creates numerous problems that have been on multiple occasions also discussed here as it can happen also within a single country when single place will attract too many people in too short time span. It is a common demand here by fresh immigrants of SF to the people who have lived there for generations to make room for them, destroy their homes as they want to move in instead. I think it very closely correlates with my example, to be honest.
I inadvertently built one of these as a kid. I did something wrong with the "launch wadding" and maybe the nosecone. When the recovery stage blew and it was suppose to blow off the nose cone and deploy the parachute, it just blew up the whole rocket and then it nosedived into the grass of the park.
