See also, Hal Hershfield's "Your Future Self".

I recently made a few major changes to my life that I felt were my responsibilities as a founder. Mainly, taking care of my health.

I heard Hal's Ted Talk, and decided to give getting into shape another chance. being that it takes a ton of time to begin to see major results, it was always a detriment to putting the time in. "I'm still going to be fat tomorrow."

However, if you spend 30 days working towards something that's incredibly difficult, and put in all of the effort possible, and review your progress after those 30 days, you'll realize you're actually making a ton of progress if you can justify the hardships as a necessity for future success.

If you're a founder, that might sound familiar, especially if you're a bootstrapped founder.

After those first thirty days, I was incredibly proud of the past me for not giving up. I had lost 20lbs. That's amazing. I felt amazing.

Future me would be even more proud if I kept going. Almost a year later, I've lost over 100lbs, and am in the best shape of my life. My company is growing, and I'm free of almost all health conditions.

The idea of doing something for "Future You" isn't necessarily what worked for me, but instead, becoming the future me and having respect and being proud of the person I was to work hard for the person I would become.

But, it's the little things. Like going out drinking, and waking up to a gatorade on your nightstand with a little note you prepared for your hungover self the next day saying "Hey, I'm sorry. Drink this."
AI Skills - a bubble. Before the end of 2024 most companies will realize LLMs don't deliver what they have been promised.

Salaries - a bubble that is popping. Many developers have been way overpaid.

Roles - as Elon proved with Twitter/X you don't need so many...

On a positive note, it's the best time ever for a talented developer to start their own thing, leveraging AI. It is now the time of the solo tech founder.
This is contrafactual. Many things survived on exact that model before hyper targetted ads. And besides, with targetted ads the middle men take most of the cut.

Isn't a scam not an official taxi, though?

I don't know the situation in Sydney, but where I usually travel, it's the unlicensed taxis that overcharge and scam people, i.e., not the real taxis.

Licensed taxi companies charge standard fares.

Indian private sector corporations were excluded from the sanctions regime.

Until a couple years ago (like 2015 or 2016 I think), all Indian defense manufacturing and R&D was done by PSUs like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Bharat Electronics Limited, Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited, etc

> Pentium chips were denied even as late as 90s

For Nuclear Non-Proliferation reasons, which was done by the Indian public sector.

India straight up didn't have a private sector MIC until the 2010s.

> India is still on US entity list restriction

It's public sector units, not the private sector players like Tata who have work with companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing for over 20 years.

> Indian companies hardly invest in R&D ... Indian companies, and general public, have very little risk appetite

It's because of the financials. India allows 100% foreign ownership in R&D FDI, so there's no reason for Tata Electronics to try and build a local chip design R&D arm when Nvidia and Intel have massive R&D labs in Bangalore and Hyderabad that have been chugging along since the 2000s and can pay salaries in USD.

There is some incipient work on making indigenous RISC-V architecture chips, but it looks like bullshit to me.

Legal counsel is there to advise, not to design product UX. Some companies have bonehead policies like “you must develop whatever Legal advises” but that’s a choice the company is making. Sensible companies treat their in house counsel as advisory, and weigh the risks like they would weigh any other risks.

That isn't reasonable. The goal does not invalidate the method, nor caution.

Without the goal (eg, get rid of those damned bloodsuckers), the amount of diligence required isn't going to even start.

You need a goal, and then, you need to assess.

The bloodsuckwrs must go.

No. Semi-slavery is no "opportunity" in any real sense of the word, it is a trap. Very few people advance out of sub-poverty wages (and the few who do are no "proof" that it is an "opportunity").

There is a massive difference between people of equal power making arms-lencgh transactions, vs people of virtually unlimited power coercing others to work for sub-poverty wages when their only other option is starvation.

Minimum Wage and Unions work against the tendency for capital, owners, and management to exploit workers for their own gain. History shows societies with a large middle class are far better off and more resilient than societies with a thin upper class and mostly impoverished workers.

Whenever workers for a company are disproportionately reliant on public assistance, as was found in MN, it means that the management has figured out a scam to get rest of the taxpayers to subsidize their business.

The taxpayers make up the difference between what is paid vs a living wage which would be required for those workers to sustainably work for the corp, and the management/shareholders pocket the difference. So, Uber and Lyft are literally scamming the rest of the taxpayers for their profits. Do you enjoy paying taxes to support the executives and shareholders of Uber and Lyft (also WalMart, etc.).

There are several solutions, including:

Solution 1: Reset the minimum wage the way it was originally designed (by 1950s Republicans), so that it pays a livable wage for one person working 40 hours to support a family of 4 above the poverty line. This is what built the middle class.

Solution 2: Tax any and all automation sufficiently to pay a Universal Basic Income above the poverty level so that people have options and do not need to work unless an employer makes it worth their while to undertake the commute, etc. Actual minimum wages may be lower, but the corp taxes will be higher.

Either way, we are the wealthiest society in the history of the planet. We CAN afford to treat everyone with dignity, which includes providing for their basic needs of food, housing, healthcare when they work a full-time job.

Allowing some to exploit others in a coercive semi-slavery arrangement should not be an option in the most wealthy society in history.

The irony is that industrial jobs in the early 19th century were better than the alternatives, namely subsistence farming. For all the talk about "Dickensian" industrial working conditions, the industrializing countries in 19th century saw some of the biggest leaps in standards of living in history, unions or not.

This is exactly the kind of misguided take that leads people deprive people less privileged then themselves of employment opportunities. You wouldn't want to drive for Uber, it'd be a bad choose in your situation. And you're applying the same thinking to people who don't have the same employment prospects.

What will Uber and Lyft drivers do now that price controls have made ride sharing too expensive for most of the market? Work at fast food joints? In retail? All of those choice were present when drivers chose to drive for ride share companies, and the drivers concluded they were inferior to working for Uber and Lyft. Now, were forcing them to go to one of those inferior choices and patting ourselves on the back for doing a supposedly good thing.
This will be game-changing if it works for the Nordics. Here in Finland, ticks are an ongoing nuisance carrying lyme and also TBE (which can be vaccinated against). They are almost unavoidable if you go into nature during the warmer months and walk past any bushes, or long grass. Finland is also covered in forest too, and they can often be found falling from trees on top of hammocks and tents.
This is good research but terrible writing. Why are the instances so out of order? I understand starting with the first English occurrence, but why not go from there to the oldest known occurrence in any language?

If software developers become more effective, demand will also rise, as they become profitable in areas where previously they weren't. The question then becomes which of those two effects outpaces the other, which is an open question.
They are now... 20 years ago they were building the highest quality cars you could buy. The build quality of the cars during Ferdinand Piëch's tenure of running the company such as the MKIV Golf/Jetta, early Touareg, etc. make high end cars like BMW and Mercedes products of the same era seem like cheap garbage. Those Piëch era cars will last another 100 years if people maintain them.... lots of TDI MKIV Golf and Jettas are running around with 500k+ reliable miles and holding up well. On the VW forums you see them lasting over 400k miles despite serious performance tuning, often doubling the horsepower.

>I don't think most typical GDP models are designed for situations were large parts of the population will die.

This was once an essential consideration in historical times, but never the main thing on the bargaining table even then.

Now it would be the extreme case, but the current system is still designed to handle it.

No differently than when large parts of the population (but not rising to the level beyond a voting minority) are systematically excluded from future ongoing prosperity by periodic debasement and/or devaluation of their labor, and the currency or medium of exchange, credit, and accounting that goes with it.

Never to be heard from again, since they are no longer a part of the economic system like they were the day before.

> But if you use your local models, it's more like running a linux box, it is private, customizable and unfiltered. LLMs will reverse the centralization trend we have seen with search and social. They can create a "safe space", "a room of one's own" where we can be creative and unrestricted.

i really like this idea too. Running LLMs locally reminds me of running Linux locally, it wasn't full on UNIX but it as close to a real operating system regular people could get. Maybe the LLMs you can run at home aren't the bleeding edge but they're as close as you can get. Notice how the technology companies are already lobbying authorities hard to try and keep LLMs only under their control. ..hosted in their 'cloud' and accessible only by paying their subscription. The generation that created the OSS movement and the best success stories, GNU and Linux, are doing their best to make sure it never happens again.

I've been looking for a library that can convert query plans, not just ASTs, between Postgres and other query engines. The reason this is useful is because RLS (row level security) settings are injected into the query plan after the AST is constructed, so the same query string can produce different query plans depending on the security settings of the database.

Substrait comes close, but I haven't found a Postgres Substrait producer. Are there any projects working on this?

That is not correct.

While the probability that neutrinos will interact with other kinds of particles is very low, it is finite.

Therefore we have neutrino detectors, even if they are very big and very expensive.

So we can actually view neutrinos in the same way as we view anything else. We can imagine even building a video camera that would provide images of the spatial distribution of the neutrino flux, i.e. an image of the sky based on the incoming neutrino rays.

Such a neutrino video camera would be made like a compound insect eye, in order to separate by angle the incoming neutrinos with shields. Unfortunately such a video camera for neutrinos would need to have a planetary size, because shields that could block a large fraction of the neutrinos coming from different directions than the one desired for reception would be humongous.

For neutrino sources that are much more luminous (in neutrino flux) than their background, e.g. supernova explosions or the Sun, there is an alternative way to separate the neutrinos that come from a specified direction, besides shielding. One can use 2 neutrino detectors located at a great distance between them and count only the neutrino fluxes recorded in both detectors. Unfortunately the great distance needed for good angular resolution and the size of the individual neutrino detectors still make impossible the construction of a neutrino receiver that could be oriented in any direction, at will.
i doubt it's illegal to ask, but more like it is legal to refuse.

the main problem is that it's unclear who pays when there is an accident.

Not if the GP is describing the rate of change of the probability of transmission as a bell curve. We can assume 0% transmission when the bite first occurs, and assume that chance gradually plateaus at some point. That would look like an S-shaped logistic curve, whose derivative is bell-shaped.

It isn't.
Yeah. Either entirely client-side or passing through a server naively. This is the inevitable result of having an "allow by default" security model in an API. Unfortunately, insecure defaults are a common theme with libraries targeted at JavaScript developers. GraphQL is another area I would expect to see these kinds of issues.
Yea I should clarify. I do care about CVEs and actively seek out and patch security vulnerabilities in the software I run. What I don’t care about is the manufacturer’s panic over the CVE, and their insistence on usurping my power to control my device, using the CVE as an excuse. Is that more understandable?
This is such a dramatic turnaround from the way Apple has positioned itself in the last few years you have to really wonder about their confidence level for in-house AI efforts.

No, discontinuing depreciation is not a universal human trait. You bet that when I drive for work I expense the depreciation on my car. And and Uber and Lyft driver worth his or her salt deducts the depreciation of driven miles from taxable income. Go on Uber and Lyft driver forums and this is in every beginner's guide. This notion that most drivers aren't accounting for depreciation is just not true.

> The law did not mandate a $15 and hour wage. It set specific per mile cost requirements, which could easily be well over $15 per hour.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this is a workaround for Uber/Lyft's workaround that lets them violate employment laws, namely, that they claim their employees are contractors, not employees. Since the contractor agreement specifies payment per mile, that's what the council's ordinance applies to. If Uber/Lyft were honest about their employees being employees, then they would have the minimum wage law applied, like any other business.
They were talking about the total relative amount. All evidence independently points to DM making up around 85% of all matter.
Reading this made my back hurt and reminded me to take my meds.
Yeah, but these are rather theoretical practicalities. In the majority of cases, consent is coaxed out of the consumer. If you show up for a MRI, and you get a piece of paper with the comment "It is for data protection", almost nobody has the time or nerve to actually read the text, and even less people have the inclination to decline to sign. After all, they (sometimes desperately) need the service. Let alone that the accompanying comment is deliberately phrased such that some people will believe they need to sign in order for their data to be protected. Dark patterns all over the place. My bank implemented the consent (for a while) as a reoccuring pop-up after login. Yes, you get the popup as long as you decline to sign it, over and over again. I think they gave up on that practice, and it was partly a dark pattern (IOW, there were two buttons to decline to sign, and one would result in the popup reoccuring). Examples are all over the place if you walk an EU country with open eyes.
> I also don't go around having intelligent conversations with chairs.

Where's your mechanistic model showing consciousness is linked to "intelligent conversations."

>the fact that you are drawing an absurd equivalence between inert chairs and a system capable of intelligent conversation shows you haven't given this topic any serious thought.

Whether a desk chair has desires, pain or sense of self is completely unknown, unless of course you have some mechanistic model of these phenomena such that we can see its presence in the human brain and see that desk chairs do not have a comparable process.

People like yourself who are so eager to dismiss the possibility that desk chairs are intelligent or sentient are the ones making strong claims without justification.
> Infinities are quite different, given that it is by definition impossible to measure whether something in reality is infinite or not unless you have infinite time.

It's impossible to count a negative number of things. It's impossible to count an imaginary number of things, it's impossible to count a matrix of things. It's impossible to count an irrational number of things. These are all fictions that people use because they're useful. Infinity is exactly the same as any of those other concepts.
I find a lot contradicting info about what the idle consumption of AMDs is, different graphs show different numbers (so I do not trust the source you've linked, as my own 12500 machine idles at about 25w) , but overall consensus on Reddit and other sources is that a typical AMD system will idle at +10 watts. compared to Intel. Some posts claim that idle dissipation for AMD (cpu only ) reaches 55w. My own exdperience with Ryzens (it was 3600 last time) is they indeed idle (and while lightly loaded too) at higher power. For my typical usage scenario, where 80-85% of times CPU does nothing it matters.
