You can find plenty of that as content, it just exists on platforms rather than individual sites, and mostly as video.

People have mentioned the discrete - continuous tradeoff. One way to bridge that gap would be to use https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07366 - they draw an equivalence between vanilla (FC layer) neural nets of constant width with differential equations, and then use a differential equation solver to "train" a "neural net" (from what I remember - it's been years since that paper...).

Another approach might be to take an information theoretic view with the infinite-width finite-entropy nets.
I didn't really understand this article. What about this article is specific to fractional CTOs instead of regular ones? Also none of this advice is following SMART principles. People know delivery and execution are important

Yep, although there's also just an issue of people not seeing their surroundings as something they own. I've seen this in collectivist societies too.

For example, in India, there's a pretty jarring contrast in big cities, between pristine modern buildings with immaculate interiors situated on a street literred with garbage. While Indian society loves to label littering as shameful, because no one sees the street as something they also partly own, their idea of cleaning only extends to keeping their own building immaculate.

When I was a kid in my rural Canadian town, many things taken for granted today were just not in grocery stores. Primarily I don't recall seeing cantaloupes ever, and I would be surprised if avocados were there. Heck I recall there only being one or two types of onion, typically, and lots of things were only available in season.

I imagine stores in the "big city" might have had some of these things, or maybe only specialty stores? Yet even today if I buy apples "out of season", they taste dry and tasteless. Makes sense considering how they arrived from South America or whatever.

As a test I've bought apples from the local farmer at perfect ripeness, stored them in a cold room, and they taste far better than apples, out of season, in the grocery store. So not stocking apples from South America historically made sense, especially in a rural area, where every family I knew bought a bushel or two of apples in season, and put them in a cold room.

It's so weird. People are quite concerned about environmental concerns, then don't buy and store things when in season. Then they buy those same things from 1/2 the planet away, and wonder why all the shipping happens.

And on top of all this, a bushel of apples is far cheaper at the farmer, than buying them piecemeal at the grocery store.

Ah well. Different times.

> The cultural hostility towards pedestrians is wild.

This is one of the major factors I appreciate about the places I've lived in California; for the US it's an exceptionally good environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

Still not great by any means. But whenever I visit friends/fam back in IL where I grew up, I'm teleported back to that cultural hostility in a big way. It doesn't end there though, even as a driver there's rampant aggressive hostility/road-rage behavior to contend with.

It feels like the entire region is full of people fighting for scraps on the streets, just without getting out of their cars. Pedestrians/cyclists are basically just bystander casualties to the mess without infrastructure to isolate them from it.

United Airlines Removes Boeing 737 MAX 10 from Expected Aircraft Deliveries
You give pieces of the article during your chat session giving enough context for the LLM to put it together when you ask for it.

The other one is just being confused when Bing, who has some sort of deal with the publishers, includes the article in the prompt when you casually use the system to ask for its first ten lines, and get it. It isn’t baked into the model, the attention aspect is just really leaned into.

Mostly it’s just people not understanding how LLMs work, and assuming everything is coming from the model when they don’t realize it’s all coming from information in the prompt, and the model is just really good at getting things from the prompt.

Again, courts will sort those claims out quickly.

"According to an SEC filing, United Airlines has removed the Boeing 737 MAX 10 from its fleet plan from this year until after 2025. This comes after a string of problems with Boeing quality control and delays in the certification of the aircraft type.

... Between 2024 and 2025, United was supposed to receive more than half of its MAX 10 order. Although the 10-K filing states that United does not expect any MAX 10s in the coming years, the airline specified.

... Though United is not expecting the MAX 10s anytime soon, the airline is still awaiting more MAX 8s, 9s, and 787 Dreamliners. According to the table above, United contractually expected 85 Boeing planes this year but now expects 63. The breakdown is seven 787s (variants not specified), 37 MAX 8s, and 19 MAX 9s."

Indeed, I think we are fairly aligned.

I also think the math systems will lag for more than just donations. The work to make a good CAS is pretty intense. A lot like a good SAT system. Or really anything that is deep in the weeds of computer science. A lot of us are so far removed from the math that they focus on, that it can be mind bending to try and get back into it. (Indeed, for a lot like me, we were probably never really great at it, in the first place.)

Mathematica and Matlab are interesting to consider, as they are likely very well integrated into older workflow systems from the mainframe era. In particular, I'd expect the high end simulations for car and vehicle designs are much more integrated with those than anything open source. And a lot of that is largely availability of what they are integrating with. Most of us do not have the science labs and all of the equipment that goes with it.

Which, I think, is a bad feedback loop on this. For folks without those labs, Mathematica/Matlab are prohibitively expensive. For those with the labs, they are probably a rounding error. And there is no real path from the current equilibrium to one that can get it to more people. (The old path was free access in college. But that is becoming less of a thing in modern programming jobs.)

> Nordstream 2 hasn't transported a single m^3 of natural gas for sale (there was probably some minor net flow from initial pressurization), as promised in case of russia ending the peace.

Yes, this was the agreement that the US made in return for dropping US sanctions on the pipeline project. Which was made only after it became obvious that Germany was insistent on completing the project against everyone else's wishes because "they knew better" and the talk about it being threat to the national security of Eastern Europe was irrational (/s).

>And the natural gas they used came from a random non-russian pipeline. Nevermind that it was ~half russian in origin. Hypocrites.

> - Ukraine, Poland: Hey, don't bypass our pipelines, we want the money!

You understand that there is a legitimate difference? Without Nordstream, Russia can't turn off the gas to Ukraine and Poland (or damage the pipelines) without turning it off for all of Western Europe. Nordstream lets them do that, and that is (was) a significant wedge between Germany and Eastern Europe.

I think you'd have to write a facade package with a consistent API that mapped to the node/deno/bun equivalents, since they're each quite different.

Best bet is to use the Node fs package and rely on the deno/bun compatibility layer.

More generally, Deno pushes for Web Platform APIs, and as more are proposed and implemented the runtime-specific APIs will become fewer and fewer.
