That is not minimizing. Minimizing from a psychological perspective is to present an event that has occurred as unimportant or insignificant. Had the OP said "suburbanites have nothing to worry about if they are targeted in a home invasion" would be an example of minimizing. The rising fear about crime in general, or home invasion in particular, is a disconnect from the actual risk of either happening to oneself. Violent crime overall is somewhere south of 25 incidents per 1,000. That's 2.5%. Which is 2-3x less than it was 30 or 40 years ago. Increased visibility in the media along with influence peddlers in social media whip up fear and neuroses for more clicks/income that make things appear worse than they ever have been. Which tends to lead people to believe the false narrative that "life was better when I was a (much more uninformed) child/young adult."

There is one thing you can't with most algorithms: prallelize decompression. That's because most compression algorithms use sliding windows to remove repetitive sections.

And decompression speed also drops as compression ratio increases.

If you transfer over say a 1GBit link then transfer speed is likely the bottleneck as zstd decompression can reach >200MB/s. However if you have a 10GBit link then you are CPU bound on decompression.
See e.g. decompression speed at [1].

Bzip2 is not window but block based (level 1 == 100kb blocks, 9 == 900kb blocks iirc). This means that, given enough cores, both compression and decompression can parallelize. At something like 10-20MB/s per core. So somwhere >10 cores you will start to outperform zstd.

Granted, that's a very very corner case. But one you might hit with servers. That's how I learned about it. But so far I've converged on zstd for everything. It is usually not worth the hassle to squeeze these last performance bits out.

There should never have been any confusion because SI doesnt belong in computing because computing is not on a continuum. Therefore it has a natural multiplier, typically 2, making 10 completely arbitrary and capricious.
> It's really not that simple. The products have become so widespread and influential that they change the very culture of our society for the worse. It doesn't matter whether you abstain from using Instagram or not, some of your friends will still be more or less subtly influenced by its existence in your social interactions.

I suspect that a lot of the anxiety about how difficult it would be to quit is the mind's way of rationalizing a psychological addiction, like saying you can't stop smoking because things are just so crazy right now.

I quit social networks in 2008, it wasn't hard at the time and it's not been hard to stay away. Yes, there are consequences of being the one guy in the friend group who doesn't use whatever app everyone else is using, but to call those consequences meaningful is an overstatement. A minor annoyance, easy for everyone to adapt to.

You're right that other people are still influenced by social networks. Speaking from the outside, I wouldn't even use the word 'subtle' to describe its effects. But, I don't know that that really matters. You surround yourself with people you like, despite their flaws. You hope the good things about them grow, and that they work through their flaws. That's just having friends.
people are a bit happier here to have an argument and then get on with their lives though
Language doesn't perfectly describe consciousness. Can math do better?
Well, scaling is big deal since that is where a lot of the power comes from. The way transformers leverage parallel hardware by processing tokens in parallel also makes them more general than just sequence-to-sequence, maybe more like graph-to-graph, which is what has allowed them to also be used for things like vision.

There's a common sentiment that data/scale is more important than architecture, and that other architectures would perform just as well if you scaled them up (to degree that is practical of course), but I'm not sure that is totally true. Of course scale is vital to performance, but scaling the wrong architecture isn't going to get you there. For example, you need the ability to attend to specific tokens, and munging the sequence history into single vector the way RNNs do is going to cap performance, which is why you see hybrid architectures like Jamba (Mamba + Transformer).

I think there is something special about Transformers - something that the developers accidentally got right! The key-based attention mechanism and the way attention heads in adjacent layers can pair up to form induction heads seems to be what makes them unreasonably effective at learning from language...

It's a shame there hasn't been much (any?) discussion of this that I'm aware of - perhaps just because the detailed architecture was more "accidental" than strategic. It seems the history is that Jacob Uszkoreit had the basic idea of language being more hierarchical than sequential, and therefore amenable to parallel processing (with a multi-layer architecture), but in initial implementations wasn't able to get the performance to beat other similar contemporary approaches such as using convolution. Noam Shazeer was apparently the wizard who took the basic idea, threw a lot of inspiration/experience (plus the kitchen sink?) at it, and was able to make it perform - apparently coming up with this specific attention mechanism. There was then an ablation process to simplify the architecture.

> Social media is unfortunately needed to function in society so learning to use it reasonably (and not in an addictive manner) has value too.

No, wrong again. It’s not necessary to function and there already are secure messaging apps through which kids and adults can communicate. You don’t have to have a Facebook page. You don’t need an IG profile of portraits where you pose like a model. You don’t need to make funny Tiktok videos.

This entire issue is being murkied by adults who are projecting their deep-seated bullying issues as value judgments on how to raise children when evidently they haven’t sorted themselves out and they are already having kids.
>2FA in general makes a bad solution worse all for the sake of security; it's not long for this world.

Can you expand on this?

With reasonable setups (trusted locations and trusted devices) the friction is absolutely minimal. And it isn't even a question, the security benefits are astronomical.

I am not understanding how you can say 2FA is "not long for this world".

It sounds like you want to live in a digital version of a monastery. It's a nice ideal and can work for some, but the vast majority of us do need to live in the full world, with all its flaws, and even if we don't like it, we need to interact with it in order to improve it.
Hit the nail on the head. As a security person, the marketing and data engineering teams at my company are what keeps me up at night.

They inherently desire to work with the company’s Crown Jewels of data. They want unfettered access to, and want to give other people access to, an entire data warehouse of some of our company’s most sensitive customer information. And when it comes to securing it properly, they often do not have the same engineering capabilities as software teams.
Once a period of time is reconciled then you can pre-compute whatever information you need and then you're only computing the current balance for the current period of time that hasn't been reconciled.

I'm getting the feeling your recommended protein amount is insanely low or only for super sedentary people... From that list, only TVP, seitan, tempeh has enough protein ratio. Nuts, legumes, seeds have very low protein amounts compared to carbs/fat. You'd pretty much have to eat some kind of fermented soy product every day to get enough protein through semi-normal meals, which is workable I guess though very boring.

I just want to point out that the US government has a very specific definition of rural the cut off is 5k people which is much much lower than your thresholds which seem to be supporting smaller urban areas rather than what the government considers rural.

LDAP is a UofM innovation. Tim Howes, a Peter Honeyman student, wrote his dissertation about it, and then went on to found Loudcloud with Ben Horowitz.
>Lack of impulse control, no critical thinking, laziness

I agree with you, but I believe these qualities are a bit more fixed that people are willing to admit. I'm not suggesting that we can't do better than we're currently doing. Instead that the impulse control & maturity required to handle smart phones and social media responsibly escapes most of the general population in a way that other technologies have not previously.

In other words, you can rightly yell at folks that they need more impulse control, intelligence, etc. But you'll be yelling into the void. Most people lack the mental tools to deal with these things successfully, and will keep coming up short.
> only a few percentages of research literature is actually worth
saving

True, but we never know which papers and ideas are in that percentage
without some hindsight.

It's an opportunity loss. Even poor papers are useful in meta studies
and archival research, because they show the errors, and state of the
art in a particular milieu.

> it is out there in substantial quantity. It's articles will not be
lost any time soon.

Problem is, there is no coordination. And while old scientists curate
wonderful personal collections, old scientists die, and so do their
hard drives. We are at constant war with the forces of entropy. One
of the biggest chaotic forces is the publishers who fight legal
battles against science by laterally spending millions in "spite
money" to take down collections.
To a point; there's still widespread poverty in the cities these people eventually move to.

Edit: Actually, younger people are well known for selling below market value. They're selling their labour for far below what it's worth, if we are to compare the price of labour with the housing that you are supposed to purchase with your wages. If wages were proportional to the cost of shelter, then $50 per hour would be the minimum for any person to work any job. If you're reading this and think that's absurd, then why is it not absurd for real estate owners to demand lottery jackpot prices to sell any real estate, or demand a working persons complete salary in rent?

This argument that social media is destroying the youth is the same old tale as old as time. Everything has been destroying the youth and rotting their brains since before anyone on this page was born.

It's less than a cemtury old. Any older quote appears to be fake. It began with the boomers, who grew up on iron poisoned food, and it's been getting worse from the increasing lack of lead and other heavy metals. Similar events happened when an effective method of producing iron was discovered (people killed each other, and burnt almost the enrire civilization) and in late rome, when lead mining declined. High lead consumption was followed by eras of prosperity. You people really need to pull your heads out of your assess, and accept that the effects are too severe to be caused by some social bullshit trend, and the cause has to be biological (even if you disagree with me what the cause is)
It's a regular home built to float on water. Often 2-story, roof terrace / balcony, the works. In the NL there are many examples. Designed to be anchored in quiet waters & sit there.

In contrast with houseboats, which are often re-purposed old cargo ships. Which were originally designed to move often (and thus, deal with choppy waters & so on).

In practice both types rarely move. But it happens occasionally. Over the course of last summer I've seen ~half a dozen crossing various lakes here. They're even for rent here (as a halfway between boat & vacation home).

On land: it's been done... 'once or twice'.

> Vivado is intimidating (as opposed to Yosys/nextpnr which you seem to hate)

i never said i hated yosys/nextpnr? i said somewhere that yosys makes the uber strange decision to use C++ as effectively a scripting language ie gluing and scheduling "passes" together - like they seemed to make the firm decision to diverge from tcl but diverged into absurd territory. i wish yosys were great because it's open source and then i could solve my own problems as they occurred. but it's not great and i doubt it ever will be because building logic synthesis, techmapping, timing analysis, place and route, etc. is just too many extremely hard problems for OSS.

all the vendor tools suck. it's just a fact that both big fpga manufacturers have completely shit software devs working on those tools. the only tools that i've heard are decent are the very expensive suites from cadence/siemenns/synopsis but i have yet to be in a place that has licenses (neither school nor day job - at least not in my team). and mind you, you will still need to feed the RTL or netlist or whatever that those tools generate into vivado (so you're still fucked).

so i don't have advice for you on RTL - i moved one level up (ISA, compilers, etc.) primarily because i could not effectively learn by myself i.e., without going to "apprentice" under someone that just has enough experience to navigate around the potholes (because fundamentally if that's what it takes to learn then you're basically working on ineluctably entrenched tech).
> If you're a professional athlete trying to be vegan, then sure, you'll end up with a weird diet

Professional athletes that are actually vegan are 4 sigma outliers. For most normal humans it's not possible to even be a more-that-casual athlete in any competitive sport eating plants. Animal meats contain more than just protein including things like iodine, creatine, vitamin D, etc. A quick google brings up numerous studies on the nutritional deficiencies of the typical vegan diet you would need to rely on external supplementation for. Keto diets and other fad diets are also not great for the competitive athlete.

If you're vegan because you don't want to eat animals there's nothing wrong with it. When the vegans start pointing to the outliers as evidence "it can be done" it's just a deep cope to make everyone as miserable as them.

It's hard enough convincing exploitable human nature to be thoughtful and empathetic and kind and generous and diligent in the absence of social media. It's like teaching kids to want to eat green vegetables.

Natural selection results in people and animals who are impulsive, selfish, greedy, and lazy, it's only by great effort that people can overcome this and be better animals. We naturally trend towards these base instincts like a child trends towards eating the bread and fruit on their dinner plate, ignoring their vegetables. Even children know that actions have consequences, and can demonstrate some self-control.

But social media is like a highly addictive candy bar. Completely unregulated, laden with high fructose corn syrup, MSG, and artificial flavors, and (for the sake of analogy) addictive drugs engineered with the only goal being maximum profit.

Human nature can only withstand so much! There's no reason to expect our brains to be strong enough to resist the machinations of millions of brilliant engineers with sophisticated technology trying to overcome our self control.
