> The point is starting with a list of carve-outs to any framework is an early sign it's fucked.

While I think this is a fair point in general, in specific cases it can be legitimate. We should not be powerless to legislate unless we're able to articulate some ideal discriminator that picks out only the intended target and nothing else. The world is almost never that tidy. We can probably agree in broad strokes what spam is, even if we can't articulate a sufficient decision criteria to identify it with 100% accuracy. We can also agree that one man's passion project shouldn't be powerless to ensure his forum remains on-topic. We can also agree that mega communications platforms have become so engrained into modern society that being censored or removed from them can have outsized effects on one's ability to effectively engage with society (e.g. losing access to your email, kicked off payment platforms).

There are a lot of grey areas in between, and identifying carveouts are one way to handle the messiness while still working towards the overarching goals. It's not perfect, but doing nothing in this case is worse in the sense of how far we are from our ideals.
Frankly, until I saw their replies, my impression was that the article was bad, and I'd have forgotten about it and who wrote it in minutes. If anyone gets a bad impression of this person over this, it will be because of their responses in this thread with the stubborn refusal to accept that they haven't provided any evidence for claims that are being contested by an increasing number of people who were directly involved.

I've been using ledger for years, quite happily. My setup includes a whole lot of custom code for downloading transactions from my banks, PayPal etc and classifying them automatically. I use Ledger as the storage format and to generate reports. I find it simple, pretty easy to learn and powerful.

The only thing I'm really missing are custom fields, I slam a lot of information about transactions into comments.
People have been teaching each other how to pronouncing Latin non-stop since Ancient Rome. So, while it's probable that there's some deviation, it's not a guess at all.

Besides, most Latin languages agree on most of their sounds, so even if we didn't know how it sounds, that guess would be very highly educated.
I think in the US we usually call Capital "Equity", so it's

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Or net assets = equity.

The corollary for an accounting period

Assets + Expenses = Liabilities + Equity + Income

is more interesting. We say that the left side has a debit balance and the right side has a credit balance. It's easy to see how a few transactions work.

Pay a bill from checking, debit Expenses, credit Assets.

Buy something on credit card, debit Expenses, credit Liabilities.

Pay credit card, credit Assets, debit Liabilities.

Receive a payment for services, debit Assets, credit Income.

To close the accounts for the period, credit total Expenses to 0, debit Equity by that amount, and debit total Income to 0 and credit Equity by that amount.

Naturally, things are kept in subaccounts but this is the overall effect on the accounting equation.

How is it absolute quackery?

"Myopia is not reversible, if you think it is, you don't understand what axial elongation actually means."

There was a member on the forums who was measuring his axial elongation while at the same time applying the reduced lens method. His result is shown in the following plot.[0] It is a significant improvement that can't be ignored, and can't be explained by day to day fluctuations or measurement error. So we know that at least some level of axial elongation can be reversed, and the idea is not complete quackery.

I have also heard that Indian rice has the lowest level of arsenic. Indian farmers are increasingly using rice varieties that are resistant to arsenic uptake and also the climate (hot and humid, which helps to reduce arsenic)
One of the key things about attacks on RSS is that it shows the need to be a little more aggressive when writing FLOSS: specifically, relying on parsing the pages as they're presented to the end user, and RSS-ifying them. Twitter is a good example of where this happens. Youtube could be, too, if its RSS feeds get yanked.

There are two parts of the knowledge at play here.

1. The trained knowledge included in the parameters of the model

2. The context of the conversation

The 'learning' you are experiencing here is due to the conversation context retaining the new facts. Historically the context windows were very short and as the conversation continues it would quickly forget the new facts.

More recently context windows have grown to rather massive lengths.
What are the safe trace levels, assuming zero is impossible to achieve? I'm guessing our rice exports to Haiti are almost 100% white since brown rice is more of a domestic specialty crop (is it eaten much outside of the western developed world?).

I tried making an app where you repost interesting news onto your own sorta-RSS feed, which your followers could then re-repost and so on. No global "trending" or visible follower counts, just peers, imo the exact right about of social networking. But nobody used it.
I use Nix every day. I love it, but I'd be lying if I claimed it things less complex. I don't think that is very controversial. To build software using Nix you still need to understand how that software builds without Nix plus you need to know some amount of Nix. If the abstraction was airtight, then I'd agree, but currently, it is a very leaky abstraction. But that doesn't mean it's bad, just a trade-off to consider.

You don't need a lot of commands to use Ledger successfully. 99% of the time, I only use one (`ledger bal`). The main thing is how to put stuff in your ledger file (and in fact, I devote most of the book to that). And, of course, the discipline to do it regularly (which I outsource to Beeminder).

What about the second largest rice exporter, Thailand? This is what I found:

> In comparison, the American rice accumulated the highest arsenic concentration (mean 0.257 mg kg−1) followed by the Thai rice (mean 0.200 mg kg−1), the Pakistani rice (mean 0.147 mg kg−1), the Indian rice (mean 0.103 mg kg−1), and finally the Egyptian rice (mean 0.097 mg kg−1).

So the lowest is Egyptian rice?

Yes, I also sometimes think that exported goods may only adhere to the standards of the exporting country, which may be less stringent than the standards of the importing country. This could lead to exported goods being unsafe for consumption.
Same goes for podcasts, which are RSS too, and those are still a thing.
It might be fun to besides doing fuzzing, use other software correctness / formal methods tools such as abstract interpretation or type systems to report run-time errors. I mean, fuzzing will not detect all runtime errors, so the formal methods crowd might suggest to just throw all your tools in the toolbox to maximize run-time error elimination.

Delegate everything to fuzzing is fun though (fitting for the name "candy" and the minimalistic premise).
RSS wasn't about monetization. While there were ways you could game it, it really wasn't for content providers who wanted to make money. There were and are some/many of them but you basically weren't the audience.

The challenge with metrics is Goodhart's law.

The way it applies to companies, we can state that <whatever>-ism is solved because we reached some metric. So I'm not sure we can close up shop on an <ism> issue after winning some policy or reaching some type of measurable threshold.

That said, what I'm really hearing in this conversation isn't actually that the -ism institutions need to go away. What I'm really hearing is that some folks are very fatigued and tired of being inundated with the -ism dialogue and the demand to spend any energy on it at all. This seems to be significantly true for the people not affected by a particular ism.

And on the side of the -isms, folks are saying, "We absolutely do not feel heard, you're not hearing us about my particular -ism! You can't ignore the badness of the -ism. listen to me! I will step up my activism!"

The reality of the matter is that the -isms aren't going to go away and change is going to be a generational process. For example, every significant founding woman of woman's suffrage died of natural causes (old age), and none of them got to see womens' voting rights pass in their lifetime. Now that women voting isn't even a question of debate and very obvious, no one is really debating in earnest whether women should be allowed to vote or not. That's just a ridiculous thing to consider.

If you want a metric for a measurable threshold of when the ism-issue should go away, it's when we reach a point where the ism-issue has reached a point of saturation where it's plain and obvious and has enough societal inertia not to be challenged. And if people decide to revive something like whether women should be allowed to vote, trust that there will be an opposing force that rises up to fight that.

The pandora's box of the internet and social media is that much of the learned-helplessness to accept that an -ism-issue is here to stay can actually be rallied against, and that change can come about from it. So I would expect that this is the new reality we live with. One can either fight for or against the ism, or ignore it and focus on their interest of choice.
Did you use the raw model or the instruction tuned one? 2B or 7B? You didn't give it much to go on.
48 gb suffice for 4-bit inference and q-lora training of a 70b model. ~80 GB allows you to push it to 8-bit (which is nice of course), but full precision finetuning is completely out of reach either way.

Though you're right of course that pcie will totally suffice for this case.
Rice also concentrates fluoride, as does tea.
The way I see it, this is just lower level for mechanical sympathy and one is still free to implement a copy-on-write wrapper. Been there, done that.

The trick in understanding what they are is to understand that these are not vectors if I try to get closer to your semantics.
Once it is viewed purely as a kind of reference type, a view in a backing array, it has only one meaning.

It's easier for a traditional functional language to implement lists and vectors perhaps because they operate on the premise of immutability first. Beware of the memory footprint though.

I admit that it might be easier to think in term of vectors. That's kind of what was done designing the wrapper.

Still, as I understand, slices are just lower-level. Immutability is a higher, language level concept.

Personally I think quality is cheaper. Sure, it takes some time to write tests and refactor things when you realize they need refactoring. But those things end up saving much more time than shortcuts that accrue technical debt and only get worse over time.
As someone who never relied on Google for RSS, this article comes across as somewhat nonsensical.

Most Google Reader users were not using RSS before and likely would never have used them if not for Reader. They didn't kill RSS - they introduced people to it.

As someone who used a self hosted reader as well as a standalone desktop reader, the coming and going of Reader went completely unnoticed.

Ditto with browser support. Even Firefox dropped it - and they're the browser that introduced the feature! Seems silly to blame Google for the general trend.

Couldn't care less for Feedburner's attempt to monetize it. RSS is a protocol like email. Would I think positively about a service trying to monetize email?

The rest of the article is about various Google services dropping support for it.

If Google kills Gmail would we say Google killed email? It's a nonsensical thought process.

Anecdotally I found it was Twitter that killed RSS. When it was new people were using it for the same purpose I was using RSS. To follow people and organizations.

> The government is already the largest health insurer in the country, and providers can't turn them down.

This is completely false. Many providers don’t accept Medicare or Medicare.

I don't know where you’re getting the idea that Medicare/Medicaid can’t be turned down by private practices.

> The idea of "Medicare for all" is actually very simple - if you do not have private market health insurance, you can opt in to the health insurance the government already provides for about 65 million people.

Again, that’s not what the “Medicare for All” bill actually said.

People just assumed it was an optional thing, but the bill said something else entirely.

Your post is a great example of how people had their own ideas about how things work or would work under new bills, but when you actually read the details it’s a different situation altogether.

I’m also amazed at the confidence with which people will deny the basic facts of “Medicare for All”, as evidenced by many comments in this thread. I posted an actual excerpt from the bill above, yet people are still trying to argue that it said something else.
* The test isn’t inside the package either. In fact, Go in particular defines _test packages so that you can ensure that there is explicit separation. You are not testing units if you don’t look at the software the same way the user does.

* If your errors are strings, you are almost certainly doing something horribly wrong. Further, your tests would notice it is horribly wrong as making assertions on those strings would look pretty silly, so if your errors are strings that tells that your testing is horribly, horribly wrong.

* Go is not a DSL, no. It is unabashedly a systems language. Failure is the most interesting problem in systems. Again, if your failures aren’t interesting, you’re not building a system. You should not be using a systems language, you should be using a DSL.

When you have no idea what you are doing, choosing the wrong tool at every turn, an LLM might be able to help, sure.
> I have been a software developer for >25years now and I have literally never found any of the SOLID principles that useful.

My guess is you actually apply them and find them useful every day that you work, you're just not thinking about them as "the SOLID principles", they're just the things you've learned through experience that make software easier to maintain.

I don't think it's a red flag if a candidate is unable to regurgitate the acronym, but it is a red flag if a candidate doesn't understand that it's generally bad to mix concerns, or generally bad to write software in a way that forces you to modify existing modules to add related functionality instead of extending them, or that it's generally bad to make your interfaces (lower case i) wider than they need to be, or that it would be generally bad to write a child class that can't be substituted for a parent class, or that it's generally bad for a unit to construct its own dependencies.

They became principles for a reason, they didn't just come to be so that interviewers can ask about them.
I was at Google during the reader shutdown. It was absolutely a top down decision and not a lack of support due to incentives. The execs tried to frame it as an infra problem/cost of migration, but neither myself nor any of my coworkers believed that at the time.

It was very telling during TGIF that week when Larry and Sergey skipped literal pages worth of top questions about it and refused to give direct answers as to why it was shut down.

The Reader shutdown coupled with Google+ reaching its tendrils into every product (“hey, real identities are great for YouTube users!”) at the time convinced me “don’t be evil” may have been a goal, but “don’t miss out on profit” was a requirement.

> But again, in the scenario under discussion, these are stipulated to be the same in both cases.

That's not what I read. The two studies imply that they are conducted under two very different mindsets, which will most likely also mean people will receive a different human treatment. At this point, the statistics you will get out of it is almost ornamental. Sometime the most significant information to extract from a description is not the one that is the most obvious that is pointed at as the thing you can quantify and draw comparisons.
