> calibrate yourself on the replication crisis

I imagine that in 30 years, it will become clear that individual humans display enormous diversity, their diversity increasing as societal norms relax, and their behavior changing as the culture around them change. As such, replication is hopeless and trying to turn "psychology" into a science was a futile endeavor.

That is not to say that psychology cannot be helpful, just that we cannot infer rational conclusions or predictions from it the same way we can from hard sciences.

Self help books are enormously helpful, but they're definitely not science either.
This is such a rookie mistake to make (by the author). Can’t believe that people who write about this topic still don’t know this in this day and age.

What does "web media" in this article refer to? Is it an umbrella term for everything non-independent, non-user produced media? Is a youtube channel "web media", is my blog, is huffpo, are the forbes not-independent-but-totally-not-endorsed-"sites"?

Stop watching the news.
If you HAVE to watch the news, don't watch it. Go to some decent news website, scroll the front page once (up --> down) for 30 seconds, click at nothing, close that tab. Do that not more than once per day.

Stop using social media :)

Eat well. Perhaps fast (if health allows) 1-2 days per week (i.e. every Tue and Thu).

If you don't work out (at all) start doing 5 push-ups every 6h. Every week add 1 push-up (every 6h).
If you don't work out (at all) start doing 5 squats every 6h. Every week add 1 squats (every 6h).
(enter exercise.. do 5 and add 1 every week)

If you don't already, start an excel file and every 1st of the month, write down your net worth.
Columns: Accounts, 2024-04-01, 2024-05-01, 2024-06-01
Rows: Current account, Saving Account1, Saving Account2, Investments1, Investments2, 401k, etc. In the bottom do a summary, and also add a graph so you can see a line.
I think a potential problem (depending on ones point of view) is that when parents wait till they are responsible they tend to have one, maybe two kids, which is below replacement rate. When coupled with things like costs, you end up with a rapidly shrinking population.
I would note the actual leading models right now (IMO) are:

- Miqu 70B (General Chat)

- Deepseed 33B (Coding)

- Yi 34B (for chat over 32K context)

And of course, there are finetunes of all these.

And there are some others in the 34B-70B range I have not tried (and some I have tried, like Qwen, which I was not impressed with).

Point being that Llama 70B, Mixtral and Grok as seen in the charts are not what I would call SOTA (though mixtral is excellent for the batch size 1 speed)
It’s not in a different league. I’ve used both in production. As others have said vSphere breaks down with thousands of VM’s, and worse the vSwitch implementation is buggy and unreliable as soon as you add more than a couple to a cluster.
Only a small part of the retail price of chocolate is the raw materials. A 25 cent increase on 100g of dark chocolate is not going to substantially affect demand.

The terms of the loan would allow you pay off at any time. That's fine. Ethically, it's exactly like paying off your credit card at the end of the month instead of making the minimum payment. Or paying off your mortgage when you have the cash.
“Material Weakness” is audit-speak for royal f-up. As a public company I’m amazed they were able to make it through prior financial statements without proper controls. If their quality control related suits don’t take them down the investor ones sure could.
I wonder if this would be useful for one team I'm in where most members are in Vietnam with fairly poor English. They seem to have very high friction for writing issues, and resort to chat for...almost everything.

The Sports Collectible Market at $26.1B in 2021 estimated to hit $227.2B by 2032
Thanks! Agreed that talking to people is on a whole distracting but necessary. We think the problem is that not all daily updates, design and eng discussions and announcements need to be immediately talked about. The problem with chat is it's a time/recency based system. Patchwork attempts to separate out immediate discussions vs async instead of all of it being in chat.

That is weird. I wonder if it comes from Apple or the developers? If the developers, why would Apple allow it?

LastWeekTonight w/ John Oliver did a segment on Chocolate 4 months ago btw. Cocoa production is definitely underpaid so it wouldn't be terrible for this higher price to stick. It's not like the chocolate companies will drop their prices after they mark them up for months.

Median rent is also 2x London’s. Median pay is less than 3x. That’s not even counting the rest of cost of living changes

It’ll only affect working class people who commute by driving for whatever reason. As usual the actual rich won’t care. The majority of NYers don’t even own a car. So it’s mostly tourists and people from outside the city (plus ride share/taxis) who are driving.

Given OP, it's clearly not as regular as once thought.
London's congestion charge is just City of London. That's an incredibly tiny portion of London.

In terms of impact, this is closer to putting congestion pricing on everything inside of M25.

I buy this argument. It looks that's not what AWS does, though, yet they don't have problem attracting LLM users. Maybe AWS already got enough reputation?
Store everything as "number of (seconds|milliseconds|whatever) since $DATE" and the vast majority of those false assumptions can be avoided. Oh, and duration calculations become trivial. Unix had it right 50 years ago. Just make sure you use signed ints, because the past exists!

god I miss my NeXT hardware. I used one as a daily driver till ~2008ish. sniff Shouldn't have sold it.
But shouldn't pollution and noise be pretty much solved in the foreseeable future, I suppose, with EVs on the rise?

And congestion I find an interesting one. Where I live, the city planners are trying to make it as hard as possible for people driving into the city, the idea being that people will just give up if driving even to a parking lot close to the city center sucks too much. However, it has always made me wonder: doesn't this strategy add to the congestion? Like, what if you made it instead super easy and fast to get to a parking spot - then your car would be off the road much faster and you'd produce less congestion, less noise, and less pollution.
If there is community demand for it, a fork will appear. It’s a mature software project at this point so the maintenance burden should be manageable with a small core team of community developers.
Cost and support networks are both big factors here. 30-somethings are probably more likely to have replacement rate or more if it’s affordable to do so and there’s family/friends around to lend a hand, but few enjoy such circumstances.

Things like remote work could’ve helped here, allowing couples to live near family instead of wherever the best employment prospects exist currently, but the RTO push prevented that.
How has it been a success? I'm not familiar.

I love this kind of project as a side effect of Framework's work - the fact that you can separately buy all of the various components of a laptop at a reasonable price with no restrictions enables so many new creative use cases. I really like that people are starting to play with form factors like this - anything that pushes us towards more diversity and customizability in computing is great.

It is saying "the 'victim' was looking for an excuse".

Either way, both statements are harmfully reductive.

It’s like $5.80 (2.90 each way iirc) assuming you don’t have to leave one station to get to another. As long as you’re behind the turnstiles you don’t have to pay again (for trains)
I'd also assume the hospital would reimburse the $15 toll. That's like what they charge for a Tylenol.
The Economist did a great deep dive on why we lost. Short version: a major export of Afghanistan was wheat, which we wouldn’t let them sell to us because of US agricultural interest. With no ready markets, their farmers switched to opium. We wouldn’t prevent it because it would destroy livelihoods, a sure way to spark insurgency. Al Qaeda became drug lords, made a fortune, and bank rolled a resistance and eventual overthrow.

As with Charlie Wilson’s war, it is precisely because we wouldn’t fund health economic and development projects that we lost a war we had already won.
There's nothing stable in ex-Yugoslavia, and that will become evident once the current hegemon gets busy elsewhere.
I've been told by several people that distributor pricing for FPGAs is ridiculously inflated compared to what direct customers pay, and considering that one can apparently get a dev board on AliExpress for about $110 [1] while Digikey lists the FPGA alone for about $1880 [2], I believe it (this example isn't an UltraScale chip, but it is significantly bigger than the usual low-end Zynq 7000 boards sold to undergrads and tinkerers).

I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but what I was trying to say is that the way that you're expected to preserve wealth in the US is to put your savings into the market somehow. Markets are sort of inherently unstable, or at least unpredictable, meaning that there's sort of an inherent risk to that, and as such you're "gambling", at least a little.

If you compare this to an FDIC-insured bank account, or a treasury note, there's effectively zero risk, so I would say it's decidedly not gambling, but the problem is that generally speaking zero-risk things don't pay enough interest to beat inflation, meaning that your money is degrading a bit.

Obviously there's a difference between YOLOing everything in GME vs putting a bit of money every month into VOO, but the latter still does carry some risk, particularly in the short-term.
I hate Schiphol, and my family tend to call it by a name that rhymes.

Definitely not true! How did you get that impression?

I wouldn't be here if it were—my cofounder Scott and I made it to YC from way outside elite circles, US or otherwise. It's really important not to go for these demoralizing assumptions, lest they become self-fulfilling prophesies.

Here's some better information: if you can build, can make something people want, and are willing to be coached in the way that YC coaches founders, you have as good a chance as anyone at getting funded by YC. (And certainly a far better chance at not being overlooked for prejudicial reasons such as 'not from elite university'.)

You may not be wrong in general—it's clear that class divides are increasingly organized around educational divides—but IMO this is less true of YC than society at large and it's a big part of YC's business for it to remain so.

Edit: while I'm at it, something I wish more people would know is that if you apply to YC and get rejected, you should keep applying. Most YC startups didn't get in on their first try. If you do apply more than once, the key thing is to demonstrate progress since your previous application.

So: don't give up, and definitely don't give up before you start!
I think it's meant to approximate that sort of dynamic pricing while making it simpler for drivers (and voters) to understand.

Sort of like how dynamic electricity pricing for retail consumers takes the form of binary peak/off-peak pricing whereas industrial users can buy from wholesale markets with wild price swings.
Unprivileged LXCs? Interesting, I thought containers would require privileged LXC. At least, that it my takeaway from trying to run Podman in a nesting enabled, but unprivileged LXC under non-root user. I kept running into

I tried googling it, tried some of the solutions, but reached the conclusion that it's happening because the LXC is not privileged.
But is that because a lot of value can be found in these same people producing in industry at the moment? I wonder if there could be a cycle of sometimes discovery being more valuable, because biotech is fairly commoditised, and a cycle of implementation sometimes being more valuable, because we haven't made the most of discoveries.

> Partly, that's because the luggage processing is very slow on international flights at Dulles. You have to go through immigration, which can be time consuming (though the automated ones are better of late). There's no reason you should get to baggage claim ahead of the baggage.

Somewhat OT, but I just realized I've never flown internationally from Dulles. I've flown internationally a fair amount, and I've flown from Dulles a lot, but never the two together.

Less OT, everything I wrote was for domestic flights.
Amazing to watch some here try and justify another tax that hurts poor people and deprives them of access to opportunity, that doesn't impact rich people.

Lets not kid ourselves. The only real "advantage" would have been one less driver earning a paycheck.

I've been on the airside passenger busses at Schipol. They move faster than the average bus. I cannot see this tiny thing ever competing with those pro drivers.
My last-living great-grandparent died when I was about a month old. I hope he got to meet me, though of course I wouldn't remember. The odd thing is that my parents (to my recollection) never spoke of him.

My mother's parents died before I was born, and my father's parents died when I was around 10 years old. With the exception of my great-grandfather, my other great-grandparents died in the 1940s and '50s. They barely got to know their own grandchildren before they passed.

My parents were unusual for their generation in that they waited until their mid 30s to start having kids (despite having been married for 9 years already). On my dad's side, he was the final child of my grandmother's third marriage; she was 42 when my dad was born (again, unusual for the time).

No real point to this post, I guess. I just think it's interesting that people's experiences can differ so much. I only knew half of my grandparents, and even then only as a child; the idea of people being able to meet their great-grandparents wasn't even something I ever considered when I was younger. I don't recall for sure, but I don't think many if any of my grade-school friends had great-grandparents around either. I've always had a very small extended family, and hearing stories from friends as a kid about family gatherings always made me feel like I was missing out.
Miqu is a leaked model -- no license is provided to use it. Yi 34B doesn't allow commercial use. Deepseed 33B isn't much good at stuff outside of coding.

So it's fair to say that DBRX is the leading general purpose model that can be used commercially.
> 3rd third of the book: ??? I usually give up at this point

History of science books thankfully stave off that final third until at least 80%. However, their final chapter or two universally manages to be a letdown. It's either wild optimistic speculation, hype for a theory that's debunked 5 years after publication, or a focus that accidentally happened to predict the course of science post-publication. The story is told in a tonally jarring manner compared to the tight narrative in the rest of the book.

My #1 suspect for this disease is a desire to connect the content of the book to real life. Such attempts miss more often than they drive the point home, even if they're factually correct.

Yay! A new joke. I've been collecting jokes for several years. Pretty rare to run into a new one after a while.
the component that is getting lost in our culture, which in other cultures is still more present is that grandparents play an active role in helping the young parents to raise their children. in chinese culture for example the young couple moves in with the husbands parents, and so grandparents are always around to give advice and help.

when our first was born we moved to live a few km from the grandparents, and there was always someone nearby to help and to show us how things are done.

oh, and going with the theme of the article, great-grandpa from my wifes side was still around, but my son does not remember him now.

and as my dad was the youngest of 7 kids, i just barely remember his parents.
Definitely. Chat is often seen as easier communication because it's more forgiving but not all communication should be on chat. We've seen LLMs really help to have clearer communication for non-native english speakers which pushes towards not having an over reliance on chat.

> it’s very hard to catch-up: once you fall behind, you have no way to review past material efficiently enough to compensate the difference - like credit card debt

It is surprising how many people working in education do not understand this. We have clear understanding on technical debt or cycles of poverty but absolutely no understanding of how learning debt evolves among students. It is so evident that couple of months into any academic session you can already see class performance on any test to be pretty similar to what it is going to be at the end of the year. Even if you know 9 months ago in an academic session that 90% of the students are lagging, you can't/don't do much about it.
And the fun part is that all the debt is assumed to vanish when you start a new session. Nobody acknowledges that the kid has been collecting debt for a decade now.

Some friend from college and I developed Filo(askfilo.com), mainly for K12. We connect students to live tutors in realtime into an online class. It doesn't sound very sexy in the AI/LLM world by we are pretty proud of the range of students we have been able to help. Still lot of work to do on it though.
I have a slightly different take on him, which comes to the same ultimate end on how I view his work.

As he's shifted from primarily a journalist to primarily a storyteller, he's chosen to sacrifice additional information and accuracy in lieu of telling a consistent and compelling narrative that support what he thinks is the important thing to take away, not necessarily what you would take away were you to review all the same information yourself.

Under that understanding, I find him fun to listen to. The things he "reports" on/illuminates are interesting, but at this point I don't assume he's giving them an even handed representation, so his conclusions are not necessarily my own, and at best it's a set of things to look into and research myself if I find my interest piqued after a fun or interesting story is told.

> They do it because a short book looks like a pamphelet and nobody will buy it. Most Gladwell books could easily be 30 pages, but nobody will pay $14.99 for that.

This applies equally to Sci-Fi and fantasy doorstopper novels. At least those have interesting filler—sometimes even better than the main story.
With many of these solutions, there's already a there there. Middle market and larger companies are seeing dramatic efficiency improvements year 1. Making this tech so accessible, while unfortunately inviting crypto bros to add "prompt engineer" title to their linkedin, also enables POCs that deliver value, even if wildly inefficient. They're a basis.

Wrappers around ChatGPT have already provided more value generation than any prod blockchain implementation I've ever heard of that couldn't otherwise be implemented as a distributed db.
The design you're describing sounds a lot more like the Playstation. I find most of these hypotheticals about "fixing" the Saturn work out that way :)

Playstation indeed had unified video memory on a 32 bit bus, but the bus is only saturated when drawing 2D elements or untextured polygons[1].

Sprite-heavy 2D games like DoDonPachi already run better on Playstation than Saturn due to the faster framebuffer, while games like Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot and Final Fantasy 7 demonstrate the effective strategic use of untextured polygons.
