They’re making a valid point, don’t shout them down by calling it a one off.

Quality of living is plummeting and inflation on things you actually care about is way more than the headline rate. Housing, for example takes up a vast proportion of income and the increase has been way over inflation.

I don’t think it’s headline news to state that the headline rate of inflation is not all that reflective of reality.
At the end of the day, if you are storing inputs and outputs to a function as a pair of numbers - one for the actual value, and one for the derivative - and if addition and multiplication work the way you expect and propagate derivatives correctly - then you are using dual numbers, regardless of if you notate it a + b*h or {"value": a, "derivative": b}.

Pytorch does things slightly differently in that it is mostly focused on reverse-mode autodiff, and so it stores adjoints relative to the overall output rather than partial derivatives relative to the input, but this isn't really an entirely different thing, in the same way that the FFT isn't entirely different from the DFT.

There seems to be some confusion about the relationship between dual numbers and smooth infinitesimal analysis. Both have nilpotent elements, but with dual numbers the background logic is classical, whereas it isn't with smooth infinitesimal analysis.

EDIT: I see you've edited your post to try to get in some extra criticism after I've already responded. That's terrible form, so I'll just respond here.

Dual numbers are a nice way to get started with forward-mode autodiff, to which it is so related that the two are essentially the same thing with different labels. Pytorch instead uses reverse-mode autodiff. Reverse-mode and forward-mode autodiff are different, but not so different that they are entirely different things. Reverse-mode is, as I put it in my OP, "not much more advanced" than forward-mode, even if not identical.

What is entirely different, much more advanced, and what Pytorch really doesn't do, is anything like the "epsilon-delta proofs" you keep hanging your hat on. If Pytorch did that, it would be useless. The entire point of autodiff is to avoid such things.

Beyond that, I would suggest slowing down a bit as you are mixing quite a few things up. Nonstandard analysis has nothing to do with dual numbers at all, for instance. And you're very much misinterpreting that MSE post of mine you linked to (thanks!).
The Hideous Beauty of Point-Free Programming
Nah. The existence of fully functional smartwatches from other vendors including Garmin and Suunto prove that isn't a legitimate reason. If they want to offload some processing to an Android smartphone then all they need to do is write an Android app like the other vendors did. Simple. No Android OS changes or deep integration are needed.
Epicrene/Apocrene glands are in funky places. I think the underlying chemical composition is a huge part of this but so is the skin flora biome around armpits, hairline of the scalp and nape of the neck, and the nether regions.
I have these - they are fantastic and work on normal wall light switches. I rent so I can't install smart switch panels, so these stick on. They're like $20 for the hub and $10 for each switch. "Hey google turn off the lights". I don't know what zigbee is, but the little mothership hub is on my wifi.

This isn't a very honest statement, either. Your choices for mobile platforms are Android and iOS. That's it. That is not a free market; that's a duopoly, and stating that you have a "choice" is, while literally true, misleading to the point of being disingenuous.

Moreover, it's extremely clear that Apple is not pursuing the edge of the security-freedom efficient frontier, but is intentionally sacrificing freedom in order to lock consumers in to its ecosystems, acting in ways that are clearly anti-free-market and anti-competitive and are entirely deserving of lawsuits like the one in the posted article even if there was more competition than there is now.
Yes, but I think they meant something like this:

pack archive | ssh host2 pack extract

Which is a weird gripe - in this use case, `tar` makes most sense to use. It's not like this format claims to be a full replacement for tar or anything close to that.

> and if addition and multiplication work the way you expect and propagate derivatives correctly - then you are using dual numbers

you literally started out your miraculous comment with

> This new algebra is called the ring of "dual numbers." The difference is that instead of adding a new element "i" with i² = -1, we add one called "h" with h² = 0!

not some observation about caching derivatives.

so i'll repeat myself for the 3rd time: there are no magical numbers anywhere in pytorch or tensorflow or cafe or any other serious autodiff implementation that abide by the rules you so jubilantly exclaim about.

While that may be true for nfc payments, a lot of the accusations in the document are excused by Apple using bad-faith arguments in the name of security. Then there’s the 30% tax, which is just anticompetitive extortion.
I think if we were just talking about the airframe I would agree that is was possible. Not the engines though. Look at some of the costs and timeframes involved in one of the big 3's newer engines:

Now consider that you aren't starting with existing knowledge base, talent, facilities, etc. (which SpaceX had already started to build up) but from scratch. SpaceX also had nearly a billion in Falcon 9 and Dragon, Boom in its totality looks like it's worth a few hundred million? Lastly SpaceX had 150 employees in 2005 and 1150 in 2010. Boom has 150 and Florida Turbines (the part of Kratos working on this) has 100.

All of that is to say they need more money, more people, and more facilities very quickly if they were to have any chance of hitting any of those timeframes.
Is there good reason to believe that this is what is really meant by "I am who I am" and isn't just Christians reading philosophical ideas back into the OT?

(I ask this actually because I remember Ratzinger raising this possible objection in Introduction to Christianity (some of which I read long ago, though I don't have the text with me anymore), presumably to rebut it, though I don't remember his rebuttal.)

That's exactly what I'd like to avoid. I want to transfer a group of files (either to myself, friends, or website visitors), not make assumptions about the target system's permission set. For copies of my own data where permissions are relevant, I've got a restic backup

Wake me up if a simple standard comes to pass that neither has user/group ID, mode fields, nor bit-packed two-second-precision timestamps or similar silliness. Perhaps an executable bit for systems that insist on such things for being able to use the download in the intended way

(I self-made this before: a simple length-prefixed concatenation of filename and contents fields. The problem is that people would have to download an unpacker. That's not broadly useful unless it is, as in that one case, a software distribution which they're going to run anyway)
Your comment ignores that "richer" in this context mean basically breadcrumbs in comparison to all the other assets poor people can't realistically invest in. If economy in general goes up 20x and your own wealth increases 1.5x, yeah you got wealthier compared to before, but poorer compared to everything else.

The architecture changes are very straight forward. Model merging has shown that pre-trained transformer layers are very robust. I’ll bet it’s possible to fine tune a pre-trained model like mistral to use this architecture. That would enable someone to test it with more parameters without training a whole new base model.
One can always argue the computer is doing more of the work. Sitting there watching the production line doesn't look very productive or challenging?

HDD for testing is a pretty big caveat for modern tooling benchmarks. Maybe everything holds the same if done on a SSD, but that feels like a pretty big assumption given the wildly different performance characteristics between the two.
That is obviously not the real reason. Garmin has succeeded in maintaining reliable Bluetooth connectivity between their smartwatches and a wide range of third-party Android phones. And they did it with a small fraction of Apple's resources.
> One of the conclusions was (AIUI) that the CPI then-methodology actually resulted in numbers too high.

How is this any different from saying they changed the methodology to make the numbers look better? In my opinion the old methodology was better, but I realize this is a complex issue and there is no "correct" answer.
That’s a weird statement coning from a self-replicating automaton that that meets many of the criteria required of a B-vN machine.

Well, no matter how the 2% figure was arrived at as a matter of historical happenstance, 2% is actually a very good number to shoot for.

First of all, a rate of zero would be ideal, but, lets face it, like any measurement, this is going to have some error. So, if you are going to err, on which side do you want to err? In favor of a little bit of inflation, or a little bit of deflation?

Well, inflation is painful, sure, but it's not nearly as bad as deflation. Let's exaggerate the numbers to make this point: if we had 50% deflation, your paycheck--the dollar amount you brought home--would be cut in half. However, your car payment, your mortgage, and your credit card bills would stay at the same nominal value.

So all of a sudden, you'd be financing twice as much debt, in real terms. A Calamity. You'd lose your car, your house, your credit. Cf with 50% inflation. You'd be paying back your debts with inflated dollars, which is hard for banks--but remember, they are also paying back their creditors with inflated dollars too...

So, given that inflation is bad but deflation is worse, and given that the Fed probably can't measure and-or even control the inflation rate to a sub 1% precision, shooting to keep inflation at 2% is a good strategy.

You miss my point: the optimizations on ground experience for domestic first class can save you 20-30% of the time because the actual domestic flight time isn’t that long. On a transoceanic flight, to generate similar time-savings, you have to make the plane faster.

Comparing domestic first class to transoceanic supersonic is misleading.

Someone with a net worth of $100 billion doesn't have one billion $100 bills. They have assets: land, equities, and machines. And they tend to also have lots of debt, because they can borrow at ultra low interest rates, which allows them to acquire even more assets beyond their net worth. Inflation helps them because leverage is cheaper for billionaires than for anyone else.
It depends on whether you count Chromebooks as linux or not. ARM bring-up without vendor support is non-trivial and full of hacks.

Well pretty much everything is regulated by the government but banks still create money.

As for reserves, have you, or anyone you know with a good credit record, ever applied for a loan and gotten told, "We would like to lend you money, but we are all out of money to lend due to reserve requirements. Can you check back in next week?"

That doesn't happen. The bank creates the money and deals with reserve requirements later.
I like to pick on them for this too, but it doesn't bother me as much as the apologists who say things like "this doesn't affect most people, you'll still be able to do what you do." I hear "it's not boiling the frog. It's no big deal if the Dutch government keeps records of peoples religion." Europeans trust governments way too much, which is crazy seeing their history, it's almost like they're domesticated. Really bizarre to me.

Are you two talking about different time scales? Individuals in the workforce get poorer as their buying power drops, but each generation lives in a wealthier society as more innovation improves life.
Incentives for Commercial Companies to build an open-source database – RonDB
The US national debt more than doubled between 2008 and 2018, but inflation was low. It's only up 50% in the 6 years since, but we've had crazy inflation. The only new factors have been the things you listed - supply shocks, war.

A lot of things other things happened in 1914. For instance, World War 1. Why not blame that for inflation?

I said inflation was due to all of the factors you listed. Debt and deficits was one of the factors. I just don't think it's the only factor, like you do.

Samsung has a similar ecosystem if one wants to buy it. Plenty of people have macs and android phones, or windows computers and iphones.

Certainly other companies can't be in Apple's walled garden, but in antitrust exclude means exclude from the market. Apple hasn't done that, there's a vibrant market in phones, computers, tablets, smartwatches, etc.

Why is there so much “branding” to Tails?

I feel like all of tails could simply be a short bash script that uses “debootstrap” to stage a Debian installation and then make it into a squashfs image that is mounted with overlayFS and a tmpfs (which is like a 3-line addition to the main “init” script).

(And yes, I’ve done this before. It’s not hard)

Instead they have a very fancy website and provide binary images without really showing how it works…

Not trying to belittle what they did, I’m sure that took a lot of work.

Just don’t understand the current fads… I feel like they’re trying a little too hard to sell a free product…

Sure. And maybe a majority of EU citizens would object. But that survey doesn't prove anything of the sort, and therefore is not worth quoting, and it's a bad look that it is, because the way the article phrased it now is misleading. Let's be real: 28,784 people objecting to a law in an online survey is a failed protest. A spectacular failure. Such a failure that I would not have cited it at all. Calling this "a great public outcry" is such a misrepresentation that I find it hard to not just call it a brazen lie.

And it also means I can't really trust this person, because if he's misrepresenting this, then what else is he misrepresenting?
---

For what it's worth, personally I don't really object to reasonably limits but feel this should be up to the member states and not the EU, so I would object to this EU law. Ireland already has the requirement for a check for cash payments over €10k for example. That seems fine to me.

When it comes to laws details matter, as the recent Irish referenda showed. Not many people really objected to the general idea of the thing, but they did against the specifics. The specifics for what makes sense can differ per member state, and opinions differ quite a lot by member state as well. What makes sense in Germany may not make sense in Bulgaria.

While I agree that Microsoft's treatment of Windows is basically criminally negligent at this point, it's a lot harder to prove damages with them than it is with Apple right now.

This is a bit like saying earnings going up isn't good for stockholders, because they would have been charged a higher price to buy the stock if people had known the earnings were going to go up.

Once you've taken out a fixed-rate mortgage, inflation absolutely has the effect of reducing the value of the debt you owe. It's more if you're about to take out a mortgage that you're rooting against (expectations of) inflation, as lower inflation will also serve to decrease the prevailing interest rate.
Thank you for repeating yourself three times. It seems like you think that the dual number algebra involves "magic woo numbers." It seems like you haven't really worked through this stuff too much. I would suggest reading some of the resources above, such as the MIT lecture series.
