What I mean, rather, is that "cost-effective" implies that everything can be reduced down to some costing. So e.g. having humans do the mind-numbing work is often more "cost-effective" than robots doing the same thing, because humans can be hired for less. But from a broader perspective, a robot replacing a human in such a role is socially beneficial even if the robot is more expensive - and the ideal state of affairs is when all things that people would rather not do are fully automated away. LLMs are one piece of that puzzle, but we can only put it together if we stop thinking about everything in terms of money saved.
Nice image. The Starlink V2 are bigger though, so fewer per launch (~15 vs ~60).
Yep, but that data originates from the providers network and never leave the providers network, so they probably don't count it towards your usage the same way.

I don't think that breaks net neutrality either, which the FCC seems to be reimplementing

> If I had to guess, their first quarter in FY2025 will run from Sept 30 through Jan 3 and be 14 weeks.

If all years were 365 days, the extra week will come once every 7 years.

But we have leap years, so the extra week comes either after 5 years (which includes 2 leap years) or after 6 years (which includes 1 leap year) ... or something like that, so I guess the first quarter in fiscal 2028-29 will have this feature ... could be 2027 as I do not how to count this too precisely, but definitely not before.

I wish. It's only available to licensed AISPs that carry fun requirements such as:

> The license can be obtained within 6-9 months for the application fee of 6,800 EUR. The minimum capital requirement varies depending on the nature and scale of the AISP’s activities but is typically around 125,000 EUR. The amount is ultimately determined on a case-by-case basis by the Dutch Central Bank which is the regulator of the Dutch financial market.
Depending on the laws, it can be.

Given typical abusive IP laws around the world, I'd say that it is.

I don't think it's a challenge at all.

I could build one for my house for <$1000 and <2 weeks work. I could do all the design work for one which could be manufactured at scale in <6 months and <$500 per unit (although I have no idea how much extra there would be for regulatory and similar work in this domain, and the NREs for getting a production line would be quite a bit extra too).

Short story is that a heat exchanger would add resistance to airflow, but that could be trivially countered with ... a fan. I could design a control system for setting fan speed to make it look like an unobstructed passage for <$30, but more likely than not, it'd be sufficient to just have a powerful enough fan to have more airflow than an unobstructed flue.

Disclaimer: I've done work in an adjacent field, and I'm confident about all of the above working. I can give you the parts list almost off-hand if you want a longer story, right down to the pressure sensor I'd use if I needed a control system. That said, I have close to zero background in civil engineering, regulatory requirements around things like this, and similar. My knowledge of thermodynamics and thermal engineering is also quite good, but my knowledge of HVAC specifically could fit on the head of a pin. I give the background so that you can decide whether or not to believe me. :)

I don’t know what this means (although I can maybe guess). Can you explain it for sake of clarity?

Basically it means that whoever owns the "last mile" can't sell it only directly to the customer as part of a larger (bundled) product like "internet access." They have to sell access to that last mile of fiber or copper "unbundled" from anything else (such as "internet access"), and they have to offer it to other ISPs. This is how it has been for ~25 years in NL, and people there understand how important it is.

By forcing the monopoly (local loop) to be a separate company from everything else it makes it totally obvious when there are ridiculous shenanighans. Like, if local-loop company X has only one ISP customer Y, that's an obvious red flag. Also since they are separate companies regulators can subpoena the contracts, communications, and payments which flow between the two companies.

It's essentially the internet version of what the US did to voice telephony after we broke up our telephone monopoly back in the 1970s: no single company was allowed to do both local loop and long distance.

Currently the Netherlands has this for local-loop fiber, and a few counties in the US State of Washington have it due to the odd fact that their local-loop fiber is owned by the electric utility (not the phone or cable companies). It is an awesome system.

Here's the Dutch cases:

- copper (2000): https://www.acm.nl/en/publications/publication/9225/KPN-is-r...

- fiber (2015): https://www.acm.nl/en/publications/publication/15093/KPN-mus...

Hi! I'm a motivated software engineer with 2 years of experience. I've been a contractor at a major pharma company, building up tooling around our internal scientific database and doing some data analysis on the science side while I was there. Later, I was with a smaller fintech company and built out the VS Code language support for an internal scripting/templating language—this was all done in OCaml.

I'd love to work on software whose target audience is other developers. I'm very interested in programming languages, compilers, OS/systems programming, databases, and back-end work in general, but happy to stretch to front-end or (if a position calls for it) software eng/data analysis that's closer to the natural sciences.

Right, they will never stop, there will never be a ceiling at which any browser vendor says "okay this is good, let's just stabilize at this point and refine what we have". There will always be the endless thirst for greater abstraction, deeper access to host hardware/peripherals and I/O, and really just more ways to turn the web into a profitable software-delivery mechanism.

It may or may not be a requirement of the recall program to actually get the product back, whether or not it makes sense in the context of then not being possible to ship a possibly dangerous battery via any normal shipping method.
Are the "ruling classes" actually trying to dictate morals? Some of them, sure, like the ones who historically were religious leaders, or these days politicians who push religion, but these days I don't see, for instance, business leaders making speeches about morality at all, except maybe that one nutcase who bought Twitter.
> And with 2.3M customers, that's an average 1.7 Mbit/s per customer, or 550 GB per customer per month, which is kinda high. The average American internet user probably consumes less than 100 GB/month.

Really interesting. Amazing we can just drill a hole and drain fluid into our abdomen and it's no biggie.

I’ve never heard of this movement before but it makes a lot of sense in the context of the time. This is about the time that David Hilbert would push the world of mathematics to tie up its last loose ends. Physics was seeming “almost done” as well, since we hadn’t foreseen quantum mechanics. Modern architecture was well underway, creating perfectly reproducible, characterless buildings that would perfectly fit anywhere.

I can only imagine how self-important and insufferable academics must have been at the time, with the feeling in the air that all problems were just about to be solved and modernity had officially arrived.

The next generation would produce figures like Wittgenstein, Gödel, Turing, Einstein—all of whom in their own way contributed to “officially” putting academia in its place. Pataphysics seems to me like an informal attack to the same effect, an artistic intuition that there must be things uncomputable, undecidable, uncertain, and otherwise ineffable.
Yes, I generally agree with that. But the fact that you are able to take an action that leads to people being demotivated doesn’t mean that you demotivated those people.

The people demotivated themselves as a result of your actions.

They could’ve just as easily remained motivated — they just chose not to.

If you wanted to go back and do a PhD in ML, with your work experience you would be a great fit for the NSF Fellowship called CSGrad4US that supports engineers going back to research. https://www.nsf.gov/cise/CSGrad4US/ You have to be a US Citizen, and commit to a U.S. based university and in a CISE department (this is most CS departments). I am in the fellowship now and highly recommend it! Happy to answer any questions.
What pray tell is an "Irish gut"?
They absolutely count it the same way. Comcast just gives me a number for bytes used, with a limit of (IIRC) 1.2TB above which they start metering. Our family of four comes dances around hitting that basically every month. The biggest consumer actually isn't video, is my teenage gamer's propensity for huge game downloads (also giant mod packs that then break his setup and force reinstall of the original content).

Agreed. The presumption should be that anything on a work computer is visible to, logged, and retained by your employer.

> I think that experience is part of why I’ve been generally unimpressed with a lot of LLM hype.

There are fundamental scale & architectural differences that make LLMs different from Markov Chains: It's like saying that you're not impressed by indoor plumbing because you have experience carrying your water from a well, and that both do the same thing - transporting water to your home.

In both cases, this line of logic ignores the improvements made to make such a thing remotely possible, and the difference in relative usefulness that can be gained from LLMs in comparison to Markov Chains.
I can think of a number of cases where using a hard decision decoder can be a better choice. Power would be one factor and I would strongly disagree that the power delta between soft and hard codes at these data rates is small. Unfortunately, I can not find any public data to back up that claim for what appear (based on coding gain and overhead) an HD-FEC using RS and a SD-FEC using braided BCH or LDPC.

Other factors can include reduced routing complexity and area requirements of HD since you have to shuffle around soft information. Extra die space is expensive so you want to avoid it if possible.

However, I think the most likely is the latency reduction you get when using HD-FEC. I know that some applications of microwave links are extremely latency sensitive, could be that this research is targeting one of those applications.
That it was a failure is well known. But fringe, as in obscure (which is what I think is salient in this context)? I think that is misleading - that it has an official gcc backend to remove is a sufficient counterargument. Funny you mentioned PA-RISC and Alpha, as both were abandoned by HP and Compaq for it. Stupid (at least HP did backpedal, but not after burning a mountain of cash, it was to replace the PA), but not consistent with fringe. Getting it into the Linux kernel and gcc support was a big deal at the time thousands of man-hours were expended on all of this, all the investment and work was done for the dominant architecture.
Obviously Microsoft was hugely invested in it, but some there thankfully had better ideas and didn’t miss the x86-64 boat, since it already stank years prior to its release.
DEC Alpha was also in the long run a commercial failure. wouldn't call it fringe though. PA-RISC was commercially middling, I also wouldn't call it fringe (both shitcanned for Itanic BTW, for which people are still bitter).
The training datasets are also available, which sets them apart a bit IMO.
