I’d honestly like it if we had shorter setbacks across the US - so much wasted on front lawns that would be better spent on the same space in the backyard.
Another interesting one is that the hardware isn't really optimised for Mamba yet either - ideally we'd want more of the fast SRAM so that we can store more larger hidden states efficiently

This is true. My parents wanted a doctor and an engineer. And while my brother and I both got STEM degrees, we ended up in law and finance, because those fields pay way more.

I’m convinced that this is bad for your average American. It’s good for the small slice of the population making high salaries at banks, law firms, advertising companies, etc. But that drives financialization of the economy, which is probably worse for the average worker. It might be better for the median American to cut down those industries and shift the economic mix to industries that create more solid middle class jobs.

Great, and what about everything else on this world you need. Do you also build computers and network equipment to access hacker news? The problem with technology is that it requires specialized knowledge which in turn requires people who specialize in it. There is a good reason why small disconnected communities stay the way they are and do not advance.

I like using Readability.js as a demo for my shot-scraper CLI utility: https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/en/stable/javascript.html#...

async () => {
const readability = await import('https://cdn.skypack.dev/@mozilla/readability');

The US government is currently inhabited by one political Duopoly, the RepubliCrats, who cater to the interests of the 0.001%, who keep us divided. It's been that way since at least 1970, if this set of interviews from 1970 is to be believed[1]

Maybe for a query or two, but the problem sorts itself out.

Auth servers are very rarely running from a completely cold cache. Additionally most resolver software uses a system called scoreboarding where response times for each IP are recorded and it will prefer the fastest known nameserver for a query (some number of queries are still periodically sent to "slower" or unknown servers to gather metrics for them).

Clients never treat a system resolver as "broken." Most operating systems will round-robin the list of available recursive servers when there is a timeout before returning failure to the software. In the case of web browsers and such, they'll retry with a resolver operated by the browser vendor before admitting defeat.
Right. From a recent https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting thread:

PTA sign convention makes it very straightforward:

Yes with the double strap.

It’s not a fashion item, but when it’s tight enough the weight distributes very well.

I have worked all day in it, then felt no hesitancy to watch Bladerunner 2049 in 3D on a “screen” large enough to feel like I was in the movie, and felt fine.

(Tip: Max the angular screen size to most of your field of view. Then adjust the amount of 3D effect to be completely natural by adjusting the screen distance, eliminating the typical 3D uncanny valley. You have it right when your brain suddenly stops paying attention to the 3D aspect because it’s so ordinary. But subconsciously the world is real and you are in it.)

With the fancier strap I felt face & cheek pressure right away, and face fatigue in a couple hours

The change has had other wins. Putting screens anywhere, at true eye level, and only needing a wireless keyboard/trackpad, let’s me sit back in a padded office chair, work on a couch, etc avoiding static position stress and eliminate any tendency to hunch over my laptop

Another interesting oddity is when you lean into a screen, or walk up to it, the resolution effectively keeps up. So inches away from a 100 inch screen, the large letters in front of you still look near perfect, without pixelation (still max out the actual in-headset resolution).

I experience the headset as a big mental & physical ergonomic upgrade for the Mac, with the VR/AR features simply being interesting side benefits

I recommend it highly in those terms

Alternate roots are basically unusable. Either your domain names are universally accessible, or someone needs to follow specific instructions to use them, in which case why use AlterNIC or OpenNIC, when you could just give instructions that were specific to your chosen domain name?

Regardless of your grievences with ICANN, nearly universal consensus is almost certainly worth the price of using an ICANN delegated top level domain.

I'd assume at least a three-layer distinction for this - juniors require guidance, seniors can provide it, but there's a lot of middle grounds and many years of work where you're not junior (at least according to this criterua) anymore but not yet senior.
This still makes little sense as that scale will always matter. If you can drop the compute cost of a model by 10x it means you can increase model integrity/intelligence/speed etc beyond what your compute bound competitors have.

Simply put, for the time being huge datasets are going to be needed and those with bigger (cleaner?) datasets will have a better behaving model.
It’s a relief that it’s small compared to what feeds us…
It's all relative. I've done my fair share of both C++ and Rust for over a decade and yet I can quite easily read Rust source code for both the Rust standard library and any 3rd party crate. In comparison, reading C++ std headers is complete pain, same as sources of many popular C++ libraries, due to them being overly generic in a C++ way.
I like using web views including rendering them to png or pdf

Apple has some janky old UIKit and less-so AppKit support for Japanese that's portable to use from SwiftUI so I get by without needing web views for every label. However it's still nice to just use a web view for primary content.

There's zero input support for advanced Japanese features on native Apple platforms basically, like ruby text editing, but they can be bolted on cleverly with work. Or just use a web view.

Ok well if you are not making more than 1480 dollars a month by a significant amount - like 800 dollars more a month would be significant to someone making 1480 - then sorry for my mistake but it's true the population of this site generally have much greater revenue than 1480 dollars a month.

I certainly would feel weird if people described me as rich, but on the other hand in comparison to a lot of people I probably am.
It’s a little hard to answer a question so loaded with presupposition. It seems like you’re initially trying to frame your objection in terms of logic and reason, but your criticism is of the moral implications. My observation is that logical reasoning has little bearing on the divide between Christian and secular. There is no shortage of logical and illogical people in both camps. The objection, as seems to be the case here, is rarely on a rational level but rather a moral level. The idea of a moral authority that transcends humanity, by which humanity is to be judged is highly offensive. We naturally want to be our own moral authority. But if we are our own authority, who are you to determine what I should hold as “contradictions, inconsistencies, stretched truths, thinly veiled metaphor, lies...”? You’re objection appeals to the notion of an absolute objective authority on truth, while at the same time rejecting it.

If logical reason is truly what you’re interested in understanding the Christian world-view, there is no shortage of resources in the arena of apologetics. For easy reading you can start with something like Tim Keller’s two books, “The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism” and “Making Sense of God: Finding God in the Modern World” or perhaps C.S. Lewis’s “Mere Christianity”. If you want something of a more academic grade:
- “Christian Apologetics (2nd edition)” by Douglas Groothuis
- “Reasonable Faith, Christian Truth and Apologetics (3rd edition)” by William Craig
- “Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview (2nd edition)” by William Craig and JP Moreland

It was insane how many peripherals Radio Shack sold for the Coco, I'm certain I spent more on Coco stuff from 1980 to 1987 or so than I did on the 286-based computer that I replaced it with. The 286 started out with a monochrome display and was crazy powerful (could emulate a Z80 running CP/M at more than 3 times original speed) but didn't have an operating system as good as OS/9 which, for the Coco3, had a windowing system a bit like Plan 9.
I don't organize in any clever way, but I use MUJI's loose leaf notebooks (I use A5 size but they have other sizes as well).

Highly recommend.

I can't use any other type of notebook more or less for the same reason as you, and this has made me stop worrying too much about writing stuff "the wrong way" or having the notebook become too thin because I remove sheets.

So I just start writing about a "topic" on its own blank sheet, and then I periodically move stuff around when I need more pages. If I know I will write/draw a lot about a topic (e.g. a project I'm still brainstorming), I usually leave a few blank sheets between this and the next topic.

Any unused blank pages can be shuffled around anytime. I like to move "quick reference" stuff to the beginning.

The notebook always has roughly the same amount of sheets because even if I remove a few, I can add more in their place.

If you go specifically for MUJI and want to try this out, the normal way would be to use their "loose leaf cover", but you'll only be able to fit around 80 sheets or so. If you want something more chonky, you can use their kraft or polypropylene binders as "cover" and just use that as notebook. I'm literally doing that, and it seems to be an expected use, because each loose leaf package has a suspiciously convenient amount of sheets to conveniently fit one binder.

It seems like a very nice concept and start. I think if I were developing it, I'd find a school and do some gameplay testing with kids in an afterschool club. I might also ask kids and/or AIs to contribute art.

If a driver is tasked with visiting a number of places, they will probably choose a reasonably good route. If the driver claims to have found the optimal route, it may not be true, but it's still not a hallucination and it's still a pretty good route.

The driver certainly cannot be relied on to always find an exact solution to an NP-complete problem. But failure modes matter. For practical purposes, the driver's solution is not simply "false". It's just suboptimal.

If we could get LLMs to fail in a similarly benign way, that would make them far more robust without disproving what the posted paper claims.
This mentality, of covering over software at the edge, is how we got the first crop of 737 max crashes. Bad software, shitty UI and a go fast culture. Its how were so capable of evolving dark patterns quickly... product creep mentality has trained the user base to go go go and not think.

And the costs happen at the other end: it's the mental workload that happens when check boxes are toggles now.

You can frame this however you want. In most cases it's unqualified people making expedient decisions that are just confusing to users outside the bubble of tech and PM that they live in. The people who are developing these projects keep jamming AI into everything... it doest matter that ML isnt ripe, that end users dont care, that it's not fit for purpose.

I can point to massive piles of product innovation, design and feature creep that exists solely to pad the resumes of bad UX, product and engineering teams.

Slow the fuck down and do some basic usability on your stupid idea. You might learn it sucks before it's in production further numbing your user base to your bullshit.
I think as long as you're not setting out to start a tech company with thousands of employees, or branch out into a sector with the word "cloud" in it, you'll be fine. Only unreasonably big ambitions cost billions.

A project is usually on the road to success when it starts with a disclaimer like "just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu".

I think a larger concern is how you'll address the Bus Factor going forward.
Yeah, reading the sibling comments made me aware that my mental model when it comes to chemistry (and the role QM plays even in "simple" scenarios) needs an update.

> 15 years ago and it's been dying the whole time and still is

Exactly. Just like Latin has been 'dying' for nearly 2000 years, or since the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. And while it's long been considered 'dead' language, it continues to influence modern languages and remains a subject of study and use today. Emacs in the same way just refuses to die. Lisp hackers keep improving it and building cool things.
I’m glad to know of that experience!

I have seen prop shops like that in person as well, but haven't seen the landscape through covid

Some levels of equities and commodity futures ownership require disclosures, so I still contend that one person shops (or outfits primarily trading one person’s money) are too few in number than they should be

There is enough liquidity in US equities and futures markets to trade $60bn-$100bn portfolios now, and hedge in the options market, there should be more people comfortable continuing to grow capital this way. Bill Huang’s only problem was using leverage, and even then in a slower market he would have been able to liquidate all positions at their higher prices. Without losses the investigation into swaps wouldn't have happened.

Someone should be able to surpass Berkshire Hathaway’s cash balance, or even Elon’s net worth, by trading public equities alone at this point.
I get that, but what you said is 100% the same as what an MBA might say on the topic. And maybe that's the right middle ground, but don't pitch it from the perspective of a software engineer who is fully comitted to quality, because your pitch is far more jaded.

Hey! OP here
Great question - h' in Equation 1a refers to the derivative of h with respect to time (t). This is a differential equation which we can solve mathematically when we have x in order to get a closed-form solution for h.
We would then plug in that h (the hidden state) into equation 1b.

In our case, we don't actually wait for a closed-form solution but instead compute the discrete representation (Equation 2)

Hope that helps!
The article kind of touches on this, but doesn't expose how bad it was: Egypt's economy was in very dire state before this. The official exchange rate was around 30 EGP to the dollar, but in the parallel market, it was 70. And it was very hard to get any foreign currency at all, meaning anything imported (or anything requiring imports in its supply chain) wasn't available. Think appliances, building materials, cars, etc. All of this meant massive inflation, broken supply chains, lots of uncertainty, etc.

This gives Egypt a few years of breathing room. Ultimately, most economists agree that the country is overspending (new capital, lots of road infrastructure, etc), has the military playing too big a role in economy/politics, has unsustainable subsidies, etc, and unless the root causes are solved, this just kicks the can down the road a few years.
I found it reminiscent of the Screwtape Letters.
