Wild that the human brain can squeeze in 100 trillion synapses (very roughly analogous to model parameters / transistors) in a 3lb piece of meat that draws 20 Watts. The power efficiency difference may be explainable by the much slower frequency of brain computation (200 Hz vs. 2GHz).

My impression is that the main obstacle to achieving a comparable volumetric density is that we haven't cracked 3d stacking of integrated circuits yet. Very exciting to see TSMC making inroads here:

> Recent advances have shown HBM test structures with 12 layers of chips stacked using hybrid bonding, a copper-to-copper connection with a higher density than solder bumps can provide. Bonded at low temperature on top of a larger base logic chip, this memory system has a total thickness of just 600 µm...We’ll need to link all these chiplets together in a 3D stack, but fortunately, industry has been able to rapidly scale down the pitch of vertical interconnects, increasing the density of connections. And there is plenty of room for more. We see no reason why the interconnect density can’t grow by an order of magnitude, and even beyond.

It's hard to imagine not getting unbelievable results when in 10-30 years we have GPUs with a comparable number of transistors to brain synapses that support computation speed 10,000x faster than the brain. What a thing to witness!

This is not correct. Federal sentences do not have parole and can be reduced by a maximum of only 15%, meaning (if that happens) SBF will serve at least 21 years and be 53 when released.

Milken was released because Trump pardoned him, which I don't think says anything about how sentencing guidelines do or should work.

So it is entirely possible to decouple the reasoning part from the information part?

This is like absolutely mind blowing if this is true.
You solve this by using a layout control (a UI control specifically for managing the size/position of its child controls). For example using a visual form builder you could drag-n-drop a "vertical layout control" and then drag-n-drop controls inside it to be resized/positioned in a vertical stack.

The window itself can have a layout control that stretches to fill the window regardless of resizing. Layout changes would cascade down through the tree of UI controls and everything would resize/reposition accordingly.

It's mostly just needed to interact with FFI and declare some types as Send/Sync.

We use it in 3 places:

- fixing some FFI on iOS

- enabling function-call syntax for signals (took this implementation from dtolnay)

- implementing Send/Sync for an ID that uses a pointer as a hash (which honestly could be removed in lieu of a usize, now that I'm looking at it)
MAC randomization partially reduces privacy risk. But there is a separate issue where your phone broadcasts a list of its known SSIDs (so that it can autojoin known networks and switch between multiple routers on the most recent network - I believe Lockdown mode disables this). So if your home WiFi router has a unique name, your phone is constantly shouting it, asking if this SSID is nearby.

The MAC randomization means that it will be a different MAC shouting this SSID every time. But the billboard vendor can see there is someone walking past it each day at 10am looking for a wifi network with SSID "PrettyFlyForAWifi."

And they can search that SSID in a public wifi map like Wigle.net to find the location of your house.

To mitigate this, find the most common router name in your country and use that for your home network.

At least according to this article in 2017 [1], it looks like that was because of SoHo's soaring rents (because there's tons of great shopping which brings a lot of people there). It was also common across the country at the time.

It's apparently back and better than ever though [2].

And anecdotally, everyone I know shops much more in SoHo than they did a decade ago, even if the center has shifted to Williamsburg/Greenpoint and more thrifting / vintage stores.

> SBF knew Madoff got 150 years.

My perception of some of these financial crimes - Madoff included - is they start off with a small slip, rather than a full dive into fraud. A lot of times it snowballs while the person responsible keeps searching for a way out.

I wonder at what point SBF would have even said what he was doing was immoral. If you're running a Ponzi scheme you think you can salvage, would you compare yourself to Madoff, or would you think "I'm trying to set things right"?
I guess the nuance is that SBF can get paroles if he behaved well. That is, this 25 years can be punitive, but he will also has a chance to earn some trust and reduce the punishment.
The difference is society gets 12 additional years of safety which it wouldn't get otherwise. Ostensibly.

Operating on a minimal two-core Postgres instance: Index tuning
To put this into its proper perspective, see table 7 here:

https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-pu...

In 2022, the average murderer in the Federal Southern District of New York (N = 58) was sentenced to a median of 231 months, which comes out to 19 years and change.

No crime of any type had an mean or median sentence higher than 25 years; most were far less than half.

So it should be really hard to argue that this is a "light" sentence. If anything, it's excessive if you consider the nature of the crime relative to the nature of murder or kidnapping.
It's just a change in perspective. Consider a vertical line. To have an "output" variable you have to switch the ordinary `y=mx+b` formulation to `x=c`. The generalization `ax+by=c` accommodates any shifted line you can draw. Adding more variables increases the dimension of the space in consideration (`ax+by+cz=d` could potentially define a plane). Adding more equations potentially reduces the size of the space in consideration (e.g., if `x+y=1` then also knowing `2x+2y=2` wouldn't reduce the solution space, but `x-y=0` would, and would imply `x=y=1/2`, and further adding `x+2y=12` would imply a lack of solutions).

Mind you, the "two variable" statement in this news piece is a red-herring. The paper describes higher-dimension linear relationships, of the form `Mv=c` for some constant matrix `M`, some constant vector `c`, and some variable vector `v`.

On some level, the result isn't _that_ surprising. The paper only examines one layer (not the whole network), after the network has done a huge amount of embedding work. In that layer, they find that under half the time they're able to get over 60% of the way there with a linear approximation. Another interpretation is that the single layer does some linear work and shoves it through some nonlinear transformations, and more than half the time that nonlinearity does something very meaningful (and even in that under half the time where the linear approximation is "okay", the metrics are still bad).

I'm not super impressed, but I don't have time to full parse the thing right now. It is a bit surprising; if memory serves, one of the authors on this paper had a much better result in terms of neural network fact editing in the last year or two. This looks like a solid research idea, solid work, it didn't pan out, and to get it published they heavily overstated the conclusions (and then the university press release obviously bragged as much as it could).

Just about any US state legislature today with a Republican supermajority (such as Kentucky) prioritizes diversion of state and local education funds from public schools to private ones through the use of vouchers and charter schools. "Propping up" public schools is seen as a waste of taxpayer money. (I'm stating their position, not advocating it). Having said that, comparing public school teacher salaries to just about any other career outside government is highly misleading due to defined benefit pension plans, which in Kentucky include a health insurance benefit, and kick in fully without a retirement age requirement after only 27 years' service.
Those same people have effortlessly pivoted to saying that 25 years is a slap on the wrist (I'd like to see them stay locked in a prison for 25 years to demonstrate they actually believe this).

I've gotten better at navigating the Apple docs, but yea, they are not the best. The one thing I will say, when they give code snippets in their docs, the code snippets are really good. But you just need to read the API of a framework or see the functions tied to a type, it could be a lot better.

He was released after a sentence reduction for cooperation with prosecutors against others decades before the pardon. Both the release and pardon occurred, but the latter was not the reason for the former.

I had a single game that, AFAICT, the CD-ROM version couldn't run on MS-DOS the normal way because the intro it showed needed more conventional memory that was possible with mscdex loaded[1]. There was a workaround that consisted of running the program that would resume from the latest save, then exiting to the main menu. If you had a large enough hard-drive, you could also run it by copying the data to your hard drive, then manually pointing the game at the path (thus allowing you to omit the CD-ROM driver).

I managed to get it to run off the CD by using the nwcdex (From Novell Dos 7, after Novell purchased Digital Research), which could load itself into EMS.

Corporate MITM'ing is always a bad practice, it breaks a lot of TLS (e.g. mTLS) and can't be implemented in a way that will not break legitimate workflows (e.g. cert pinning a untrusted leaf vs the middlebox trusting everything and re-signing with 'real' cert)

The article’s premise is based on a linked Washington Post survey that shows 12% of readers read scifi in the last year, fantasy 15%, and romance 11%.

It would be nice to see some more in-depth data showing trends across time before we leap to the conclusions this article does.
