I think there is some truth to this, but what about the government opening and a case against Boeing? If they were just in it for the corporation, would this be happening?

> I used saxenda, and now mounjaro - I've always struggled with food noise and I don't think many non obese people are aware of how life consuming this is.

Any reason you moved between these in particular? Victoza/Saxenda have had some weird side effects that are not quite shared with semaglutide/tirzepatide I've seen in the past.

> All I used to do was wake up and wonder what food I was going to have, when I was going to have it, how much. It's like that ruminating voice in your head when you're depressed - it's just there all the time constant.

Thanks for this insight into what food noise is like
I hope not. Pocket phones are as annoying as pocket watches. I want something on my wrist or on my face (in my glasses).

What is Arkose Labs and why is OpenAI redirecting to it
It was especially terrible before 2006, which is when NASCAR's exemption to the lead ban finally expired, creating a perfect natural experiment to answer the question: how much did the health of people downwind of NASCAR arenas improve after the ban, and conversely, what was the dollar cost of the health externality of lead. Spoiler alert: more than $1000 / gram (approx. 1 tank of fuel).

The article does dig into it. They have Brier scores.
> there is a commonly accepted level to aim for: No accidents.

But you also balance that goal against practical reality. For example, you could end workplace accidents by outlawing work and having everyone starve to death, but that's not done because the costs are too high.
To me it works the other way round. You wouldn't want evidence it will happen, you would want evidence it wont happen. I think there will be no consequences if they go there?
I think this is one of the reasons that Rybelsus will do really well. It ends up being quite a low dose because of how much of it is lost in the ingestion process, but a pill is certainly much easier.

> Chronic GI issues are definitely something that should be avoided and I think lower dosing helps with that.

This simple/obvious take is really quite often left out of the common objections to the drug on side-effect grounds. I wasn't sure it was necessarily true but it certainly makes intuitive sense -- if you're having a strong reaction, take a lower dose and plan your weight loss around that.
Presumably you don’t publish your strats there.
I find that more important than the model used, is that you get actionable intel. To me, actionable intel boils down to 2 P's . Precision, and Probability.

So, I don't care if tomorrow there's a 50% chance of rain. I care that at a precise time of the day , say 9am, has a 10% precipitation and at noon is 90% , because i commute at 9am, not at noon. Wind is also an important factor if its raining. Temp as well. I need all this info presented as a mosaic.

For this purpose, I find the NOAA forecast local by hour is unrivaled. https://www.weather.gov/okx/ . Enter ZIP and then in enter local forecast by hour.

I’m living in Asia and when I need to fly I’ll just buy a meal at 7-Eleven or Family Mart to bring on the flight. It’s amazing how these convenience stores can make good quality food so cheap but the airlines somehow can’t provide.

Business class is rarely worth it, it’s not priced for mere mortals. Most people have a corporation buying their tickets, or are using air miles to reduce the price, or they are 1%ers, etc.
I'm sure someone, a very long time ago, said "The ARPANET isn't dying, it's changing." When a technology changes a large amount, we can safely say that the old version of it is dying or dead. The real question is: How much change does it take before we say that the Internet as we know it is dead and replaced with something else?
I enjoyed flying Midwest Express a long time ago - it was like the whole plane of business class service

Curious if you have any lessons learned worth sharing. Our journey was like

1: Yeah, we can use OPA to get rid of all this legacy spaghetti code!

2: Wow this PoC really proves out the idea!

3: Whoa we have three use cases now running in production!

4: Wait, these remaining 20 use cases are way more complex. To our surprise, all this legacy spaghetti code _exists for a reason_.

5: We now have 5 use cases in production but the Rego is now quite convoluted and our application logic has actually increased in complexity.

6: Red button: okay this is going horribly wrong. Back out this whole thing.

7: Recognition: the reason this has gone horribly wrong is because the spaghetti code combines pure logic and side effects in a way that did not map well with OPA.

8: Regroup: first step is to refactor all the legacy code and separate policy logic from side effects in a meaningful way.

9: Refactor: implement the above redesign. The policy classes all now map naturally to Rego for all 23 use cases! Let's do it!

10: Reality: we don't want to. Our codebase is well-structured now and we like it. Adding OPA now feels like an unnecessary layer, an additional potential for network timeouts etc to creep in, an extra thing to maintain, an extra special case to handle in our safe deployment pipeline, an extra language to train developers on. Now _maybe_ if we ever wanted other teams to write up and maintain their own Rego policies, then _maybe_ we'd consider going with it in the future, but for now the reality is our team would end up doing that work for them anyway, and it doesn't seem worth the tradeoff.

Anyway, lesson learned: don't expect it to magically clean up all the garbage in your existing code. You'll do it wrong and things will be worse than when you started. Clean that up first, and _then_ decide whether and how you want to adopt OPA for your remaining needs.

Much much better than both.
> Doesn't that depend on who the developer is?

Sure, the amount risk probably varies, but you are talking about going from a Marketplace that implements some level of app review to no-review. It's more risk.

> Many of them are not hopeless ...

Exactly, and "many" is not enough. It's not possible to design a special switch only for those qualified "many" - and only them. Platform owners and the EU insist on protecting the unqualified everyone else too.

> How is it "strictly necessary" for Apple to do that, rather than whoever the owner of the device chooses to do it?

It's not in the sense that someone else could do it, but the DMA doesn't require it, so obviously no gatekeeper will. Also, it's a terrible idea because there's no market for it. Everyone already expects it to be free.
Agreed. It was the one thing holding me back, but now is barely an issue. I'm sure that there are some games that I won't be able to run (most likely AAA FPS titles), but I haven't encountered any that I care about yet.
> It means the uppercase you password when generating a hash. Good lord.

No it doesn't. Say your password is "Abc1". When you sign up, they would hash "Abc1". Then when you login, say you type "aBC1". The site would first hash "aBC1" and find that it is incorrect. Then it would invert the case to "Abc1" and try again, and it would work. It's basically just automating a second attempt. In fact, I wonder if it even counts as a second failed attempt if both failed.

If someone were able to make brute force attempts on the website, it would still end up evaluating the passwords the same number of times as if the inverted case wasn't checked (the attacker would just need to invert it themselves) and in fact would likely slow down the attack because they are forced into checking inverterted case passwords. But that's moot anyway because the website limits login attempts. And if the database leaked, it's not stored any differently than if they didn't invert the case.

Of course I'm making assumptions about the implementation (I didn't know they did this until this comment) and it could be done poorly but I would hope a company as big as meta/Facebook put at least this amount of thought into it.
Don't agree. People are referring to at least a large part of it, basically the "visible surface" as exposed by social media + google. There are tons of good parts but if you wander it the way we used to wonder it in the 2000s and earlier, you don't see them so much anymore.
Is that even true? If you are in talks for something but it falls through for whatever reason, if the thing the other people do violates some prior agreement with you then I don't see why you can't sue for damages. You would need to actually alter the agreement, not just discuss potentially altering it, no?
>It's demonstrable that foreign intelligence is within the NYPD's purview given they're doing it. No claims were made about efficacy.

No. If an animal control officer starts delivering mail, that doesn’t mean mail delivery is now part of the Department of Fish and Game.

There is a terms for this: a bureaucratic overreach, wasteful government spending, a distraction.

What do you think a city cop can even do in a foreign country? What resource does the NYPD even have?? Who is going to say, “I can’t talk the local cops, or the local intelligence agency, nor can I tell the Americans directly, but maybe i can tell some foreign country’s local cop! But I can’t just tell them directly. If only this foreign country’s local police had an office here!”

An NYPD cop has less training and less resources than someone working for a federal intelligence agency. That’s just the truth. It’s a post-9/11 grift founded by former police commissioner, convicted felon, and embezzler, Bernie Kerik.

That’s what it is. It’s obvious, and it was obvious almost 23 years ago. Come on! The NYPD Israeli office isn’t even in the Israeli capital. It’s in a beach resort!

I work on PyTorch Compilers at Meta, and I think folks enter ML Systems from all directions :)

Some folks start with more familiarity in ML research and dip down as far as they need.

Other folks come from a traditional distributed systems/compilers/HPC background, and apply those skills to ML systems.
It’s hard to believe after the Crimea annexation anyone forecasted a low likelihood of invasion. In fact my understanding (limited) of the forecasting community consensus is that Ukraine and other neighboring Russian former Soviet nations with strategic access to ports have been considered high risk of invasion for some time.

I know the US government has depended on forecasting in intelligence and defense for a long time built on the RAND legacy. I find it hard to believe most other sophisticated nations don’t also do similar forecasting and planning around forecasts given how influential these efforts in the US are.
Sandwiches can also be awful subpar meals though. I fully trust airlines to ruin them thoroughly the same way they did with the other meals.

Hm, what about intervals of rationals, and then approximating the intervals with a slightly wider interval in order to make the denominators smaller? I guess the intervals for the real and imaginary components might grow too quickly?

if 0 < a_L < a < a_R , 0 < b_L < b < b_R , then (a + b i)^2 = (a^2 - b^2) + 2 a b i ,
and a_L^2 - b_R^2 < a^2 - b^2 < a_R^2 - b_L^2
and 2 a_L b_L < 2 a b < 2 a_R b_R ,

uh,

(a_R^2 - b_L^2) - (a_L^2 - b_R^2) = (a_R^2 - a_L^2) + (b_R^2 - b_L^2)
= 2 (a_R - a_L) ((a_L + a_R)/2) + 2 (b_R - b_L) ((b_L + b_R)/2)

And, a_R b_R - a_L b_L = a_R b_R - a_R b_L + a_R b_L - a_L b_L
= a_R (b_R - b_L) + (a_R - a_L) b_L

So, looks like the size of the intervals are like, (size of the actual coordinate) * (size of interval in previous step), times like, 2?

Dead Internet Theory (2021): https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php?threads/dead-internet-...

A usable BASIC was possible in about 3000-4000 bytes of RAM. (3-4K)

Most of the other powerful languages of the era (Algol, Fortran, COBOL) required much more than that. Also there were very few other well-known languages in existence around in the mid-1970s.
and they're not "supporting" a company by merely buying their product.

They are deciding that said product is the best fit for price on their individual criteria.

To "support" would require you to make sacrifices - aka, buy an inferior/worse-fit product from a company you want to support, instead of from the company that actually offers the best-fit for yourself.
Did Michael Gerber, the Deputy Commissioner of Legal Matters, commit the crime of perjury by signing a document asserting he had authority which clearly he did not?

It's also odd that the PDF redacted the name of Michael Gerber, the Deputy Commissioner of Legal Matters, when the NYPD issued a press announcement naming him (https://www.publicnow.com/view/A505A75813F7F2F483905D075F4AD...) and tout him on their public website (https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/bureaus/administrative/legal.p...)

It seems that either Michael Gerber, the NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Legal Matters, is clueless about the law, which reflects poorly on his Harvard Law alma matter, or Michael Gerber, the NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Legal Matters, was illegally using threats and coercion and false subpoenas to investigate political opponents and chill free speech.

Either way, this does not reflect well on Michael Gerber, the NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Legal Matters, nor the Harvard Law school from which he allegedly graduated.

Why consecutive? Only one uppercase character without the shift key being used should be sufficient.

The recent article about judge-shopping is an egregious example of this. Entirely cast as something terrible which only conservatives do and liberals have been crying out against (their literal words). When in fact it's done by all political stripes and by people who are in fact apolitical and in court for apolitical reasons.

Yes, the internet is not drying, it's changing, just as corpse changes as it's decomposing.
That is the case today. Very hard to beat off-the-shelf models from a standing start, but hoping to get into it in the future
It's all bundled though. It's pretty complex to get a dirt cheap ticket, with no checked luggage, but extra leg room, no extra entertainment or extra perk but just a better meal.

I see it as the same situation as cable TV, you'll never have the perfect bundle tailored to your tastes at the right price, and that's partly by design, as the company can charge more to have you pay for useless options.
Do you have any evidence at all that law enforcement agencies engage in vulnerability research in any significant way? I’ve never heard of a single program.
Except in this case your beloved android lets you do whatever you want, so why not go use them?

And there are multiple manufacturers that aren’t associated with Google who make phones.

If this were truly such a shortcoming, more companies, in addition to already existing ones, would create phones with side loading apps.

Imagine me pitching my idea to YC, it’s like an iPhone, but with side loading apps! It’s brilliant!

You’d be laughed out of the room.

The issue is you want those good Apple features, you want that Apple ecosystem, the blue bubbles, etc, but you also want to have a feature that the phone doesn’t have and people are crying that Apple won’t give them that feature.

I don’t even care, and I even if I did, decisions already been made so there’s nothing to argue.

This is simply an amusing situation, the grandstanding is simply funny.
Yes, but they're in a better position than most of us, and they would be wise to reconsider their ongoing dependencies on networked infrastructure and modern supply chains for anything life-critical. It's ok to rely on an off grid solar system or an electric truck as long as you disconnect them from the Internet and maintain a cache of replacement parts.
I pity the fools that think AI is just another internet hype cycle.

Game consoles, notably excepting Nintendo, usually sell at a small loss, break even, or a small profit to begin with, and eventually make that up not in game sales, but in selling a cheaper to build console later in its lifecycle. If a PS5 cost Sony $450 to build in year 1 and they charged $500, that's rather small profit compared to game sales where they rake it in. But if you look at that same PS5 sold in year 2 when the lines are all moving at full speed there should be some profits. If you look in the 3rd or 5th or 7th year, it's gonna be a whole lot cheaper to build and these later profits should more than cover earlier losses.

And the cool thing for MS and Sony is that the consoles sell well through their entire lifetimes only tapering off strongly in the last year or so as anticipation for the next generation hits. So, where profits may be minor, none, or negative in the first year or two of sales, the next 5 or 6 years turns game consoles into profitable businesses before any game sales are accounted for.

(There are typically about four Moor's Law cycles per console rev so how could costs not come down dramatically. Heck, each time the leaders move to a new node, the old one drops pricing by 10-20% and there are probably 5-6 generational leaps during a console lifetime. If the PS4 APU was $175 in year one, it could have been down to $115 at the midpoint of the console's lifecycle and down to perhaps $30-$40 by the last year or two of production. This is also reflected in memory price drops as well, though perhaps not to the same degree and as a smaller fraction of the total but one could imagine that PS4 that originally cost $400 to build and sold for $400 would be down to under $250 to build with a lifetime profit margin of about 15-20%. Not App Store 30% free money but not the loss leader most seem to think they are.)

Of course, Nintendo is the outlier and they're reasonably profitable on the console from day one, consistently.
I agree, I think we make all of this up because we don't know what to expect from the future, except we've learned quite a bit about our own motivations and drivers and so all we can do is look in the mirror and use whatever comes back at us.

Unfortunately we seem to have learned we're really not a very benevolent bunch of people because we've basically plundered the planet, hurt our fellow living creatures and so now all we can do is look at something called "AI" and expect it to the same.
Appreciate the feedback! We still want to add a lot of functionality as we continue to build the product. Are there any specifics you were hoping to see that we missed?

Understanding the forms is also a necessary part of being able to write a good essay. Someone writing down a stream of consciousness of the best ideas about a topic isn't going to do as good a job at conveying those as someone who's able to organize those into an essay which methodically guides the reader through those ideas to their conclusions.

Of course there is no one true best form for essays of all kinds, so in some cases a less common structure should be used. Even then, at least a familiarity with some of the most common high-level structures of introduction, extrapolation, and conclusion can provide a starting point for adapting that basic style to the circumstances at hand. In the same way a pianist studies scales early in their learning not because scales are beautiful music, but because it provides a baseline of skills that can help them to make beautiful music upon.
