The (publicly listed) bank I'm a customer of sent me a pair of oven mitts during the 2008 financial crisis, with an accompanying note that I'd paraphrase as "there have been rumors about our financial stability, and to show how untrue they are we're sending a gift to our customers".

It remains the worst customer retention pitch I've ever seen.

New technique sheds light on memory and learning
$75M is a significant amount of money. Small companies doing real, significant work often have revenues in the single digit millions, $75M could fund that kind of place for a decade. When you've worked in that kind of environment, seeing garbage like Juicero get hundreds of millions, or morons throwing away dozens of billions like it's nothing, really rankles. :)

The revenue per employee in nearly every industry other than software development cannot compete with that of software development.

There is no way to raise the wages of a teacher or for that matter, a civil engineer (https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=&job=civil+engineer&city=&...) to that of a software developer and have that organization remain competitive or within budget.

Saying "raise the wages in those industries" is equivalent to "let's raise salaries of a school district by 20x and raise the corresponding taxes to compensate."

The issue is that high tech software development compensation is disproportionately high because the corresponding revenue for those companies is likewise high. This is only an issue if you are trying to say that other industries should match it or are competing based on the same scale. I do not begrudge high tech their revenue and compensation, but rather believe that if we paid everyone with a college degree where a H1-B could be employed 250,000 / year that it would cause even greater problems.
What's the point of a tool that helps you research a topic if said tool has to approve your topic first? It refused to research my topic because it was sensitive.
How many of these websites remember to completely disable analytics on the sensitive logged-in portions of the site? Completely disable doesn’t mean “an intern once logged in to the analytics provider’s config page and asked them to, pretty please, not log certain pages, and no one ever re-checks that config.” The analytics script should straight-up not be present on the sensitive URLs.

(Frankly, the script should not be present at all on the sensitive origin. Ever heard of fetch or service workers or any other same-origin mechanism of collecting data?)
As long as the US government acts all softball on corperate socialism, that is true.

Governments over here also help out Airbus, yet it doesn't have auch issues.
Just because you think it is okay to continue to feed the beast is not my issue. I can spare the -4 points to engage the discussion.

I also don't use Uber because I don't support their history even if they might no longer behave that way now. You don't have to walk just because you don't use Uber. There are other ways to get around. The fact that you feel this way just means to me that you've drunk too much of the Kool-aid.

Society has become lazy/complacent with the status quo, and does not want to put forth the effort to fight for the rights that they so freely complain about on web forums. Yes, things can be more convenient if you are willing to accept the true costs. Things can be more difficult when you choose to not accept the true costs. Just because they are more difficult does not mean it is impossible.
Not enough information from the primary example in the article, but I agree that cost of living would be a huge pressure in general. Certainly 20yo and up.

And social media pushes quick fixes rather than the typical long haul of university and steady job towards reaching a comfortable life or at least something that feels like progress.

Interesting, thanks.

Ethanol is an interesting choice... lower specific heat when compared with water. Is that to discourage things like tree roots from making a home in your well?
Day 1 patches are increasingly a thing specifically to help with this. Ship a "release" version of the game so that it can be made physical and distributed and then continue working on it so that on day 1 users plop their disk in an download a patch for everything that didn't make it on the disk.
6 GPUs because they want fast storage and it uses PCIe lanes.

Besides the goal was to run a 70b FP16 model (requiring roughly 140GB VRAM).

I suppose so, but as somebody that just wants to follow a couple of people/organizations I care about and only post every once in a blue moon, this has somewhat discouraged me from treating any given Mastodon server as a stable place to do that.

If I pick the wrong server, it seems like I might become a bargaining chip in some defederation drama any day, not being able to follow or be followed by who I choose (because they happen to be on an "evil" server), and potentially losing my follows and posts because I can't even migrate profiles to "evil" servers after defederation.

Meanwhile, self-hosting Mastodon seems like a hassle, and due to how Activitypub works would also make it somewhat tricky to bootstrap a list of people to follow, since discovery and search are non-global.

Bluesky seems to have solved that better, but can't currently federate with Activitypub servers, so it is yet another island for now.
I am surprised to not see increase in prescription of psychotropic drugs to young people as being one of the (many possible) reasons.

>Something’s gone terribly wrong if there’s few teachers, it’s hard to get new teachers, but the price of teachers remains the same. It makes no sense from a labor standpoint.

Its because the state has a near monopoly on hiring teachers, so they can keep wages artificially low.
I love how Terry's work continues to inspire developers to this day, even after he has left this mortal plane of existence.

> Useless snark aside, if the Kagi team wanted more "money directly into their own pockets" they could just raise their salaries. If their product is comparable to Google their salaries could be as well.

And they'd get the money for those massive salaries from what magic money tree? They're at best barely profitable, revenue is probably around $2m, and they only raised $670k in funding. This isn't a particularly money making enterprise.
I believe that this comment is unintentionally the reason healthcare is broken in America.

America is capitalist and federalist. That means either hospitals are for profit entities, non-profit entities or government owned entities.

Ducks quack, for profit entities attempt to grow profits, non-profit entities attempt to grow donors and government entities attempt to keep the things way they were yesterday.

As a society, we can pick which models we allow and in which allocation, but we can't ask a duck to be a swan - each option has positives and negatives.

When we ask for the positives without the negatives, then complain when the inevitable negatives come, is the fault with the model or with our expectations?

The better way is to iterate and grapple with the rewards in the system and where transparency should be forced or legislated. Change the incentives and you'll change the behavior. Unfortunately, you will also encounter new and unexpected negative effects...see: ducks quack.
Well it performs extremely well, and if I wrote it, I’d be proud of it, too.

Doesnt seem to have pfas in any of the standard city water test batteries. I'd also like to see microplastics and medicines (hormones, antibiotics etc) in a test.

I think PFAS is actually hard to test for because you'd have to remove any added fluoride salts etc, and then use spectrometry. And microplastics is expensive to test for because it requires human evaluation through a microscope

Low-income people spending a lot of time on video games should be encouraged to work more or acquire skills in their spare time.

'Adults who play video games daily are much more likely to be working-class than middle-class, new research shows.

Although as teenagers their rates of daily playing were similar, by aged 20 middle- class people were devoting more time to their careers, the study found.

Xiaobin Zhou, Dr. Adrian Leguina and Professor Paula Saukko, from Loughborough University, interviewed 37 gamers and analyzed survey data on 3,357 English people aged 16–34.

From the survey, they found that among people aged 20–24, 8.7% working in higher managerial or professional jobs played video games every day, compared with 20% of people in routine or manual jobs.'
I found it weird they didn't match the control group, especially on gender.

Also the number of femaile patients was in the double digits, so it would be interesting to see a larger study to replicate the results.

> The study sample comprised 285 patients with FEP (32.6% female, age 24.50 ± 6.2 years) and 261 controls (48.7% female, age 25.93 ± 5.5 years).
The glitches wouldn’t be arbitrary like that. There is no need to assume a data corruption issue or anything like that to explain the glitches. It’s much more likely in my opinion, that the system regularly receives bad input due to people behaving in ways it wasn’t able to track. For example not scanning, double scanning because the attendant was moving the scanner around rapidly, people needing to exit the line due to one member of a larger party (eg a child or spouse) having a problem after part of the group had already been scanned.
If AI is actually capable of fulfilling all the capabilities suggested by people who believe in the singularity, it has far more capacity for harm than nuclear weapons.

I think most people who are strongly pro-AI/pro-acceleration - or, at any rate, not anti-AI - believe that either (A) there is no control problem (B) it will be solved (C) AI won't become independent and agentic (i.e. it won't face evolutionary pressure towards survival) or (D) AI capabilities will hit a ceiling soon (more so than just not becoming agentic).

If you strongly believe, or take as a prior, one of those things, then it makes sense to push the gas as hard as possible.

If you hold the opposite opinions, then it makes perfect sense to push the brakes as hard as possible, which is why "govern compute" can make sense as an idea.
Maybe if you already know Nix. But I'd prefer not to have to learn a new complicated (yeah despite what they say) language just for this.

That stuff is peanuts compared to the 1960s-1980s certainty of World War III and all of civilization being nuked into glowing cinders (a well justified fear after two world wars with tens of millions of deaths and major cities bombed to rubble preceded by decades of war after war before that between major powers), wealth inequality (yeah, it was incredibly bad back then too), bad economy (e.g. the stagflation and oil crisis of the '70s), and pollution (ah, the sweet smell of exhaust from leaded gasoline literally everywhere, how I don't miss it, and don't forget rivers catching on fire from industrial pollution).

I installed it sometime (end of last year/ beginning of this year, can't recall). Was setting it up and imported bookmarks. Then tried to edit them and found out that renaming bookmarks and/or changing links messes up the bookmarks, they don't save/get reset. Some very odd behaviors and I have a hard time believing that they were not picked up by the team or other users. I think setting bookmarks with icon only was also not working. There were other issues and I just did not have the energy to navigate those and my work. So I decided to give it another few years. Using Safari now. But Orion being solid would make me come back.

I also don't want to be overly critical, and I am a paying Kagi user, love it and will eventually try to use the family plan, but maybe I'm just not at the point where I have time to deal with glitchy software anymore.
This is about creating potable water, not cooling water for nuclear plants. Huge portions of the US population live in areas with lots of access to saline water, but minimal access to fresh water - desalination would help reduce demand on a supply that is already collapsing.

The DOE is doing the work because desalination takes huge amounts of energy, and they're looking at ways to reduce this.
I just wanted to say that clearly keyservers needed to add this (both verification and specifying the purpose of the key), but clearly they have already done so.

I'm not surprised; these people think a lot more about these sort of things than I do.

One possible addition might be that maybe you could specify whether people should use the key to encrypt whenever possible, or only when security is absolutely vital. That's a setting that could pass the decision to encrypt to the sender (if clients support this).
I sincerely hope that you treat your patients with more empathy than you've displayed in this post. ADHD is real, there are decades of hard science to back it up, and it has a significant impact on people's lives. What you're doing here is at best not helpful, and is likely harmful.

The theory is that the Chinese middle class has already peaked given the population decline, economic woes, and shrinking growth of exports to the West.

As but one signal, the recent dumping of Chinese EVs has less to do with industrial superiority and more to do with their own shrinking domestic demand. The Chinese market is saturated and consumer demand has slowed.

India's growth is predicted to top China's before 2030, and manufacturing is moving on to cheaper cost of labor economies. Mexico, India, Vietnam. Africa won't be far behind.

There are plenty of other markets for American tech.

You underestimate. The more places you go, the more you see, the more you do, the more you realise it is truly EVERYWHERE.

I honestly find it incredibly disheartening how rampant and underreported corruption and nepotism are in practically every sector, industry, everything, everywhere, always.

The corrupt are a minority - but they are global, and the impacts of their actions are damaging the entire human race in a very significant fashion, and always have.

Murder, I can forgive.

Corruption, I cannot.

The classic example is 'next Saturday'. Is this the next Saturday (since today is Friday that would be tomorrow) or the Saturday of next week (i.e. eight days time).

And then you end up with needing a locale based week, since different cultures (e.g. US versus UK) use different days to start the week (Sunday/Monday)

> It's way too late for them to try and establish privacy credibility.

I personally don't think it's a good idea to trust any corporation to be a good or bad custodian of your personal data based on their public image or even past actions. These values can change very quickly, especially in publicly-traded corporations.

What matters much more than self-proclaimed statements or public perception are economic incentives, and I believe Google has quite strong incentives to not get hit by huge fines for violating the GDPR and other privacy regulations.

I suspect the tradition that kids move out right after school is a result of countries (in my experience: US and Sweden) having had a lot of unused space, whereas in countries which have always been densely populated, that expectation isn't there.

EDIT: also, at the high end of the US real estate market, I note that the phrase "family compound" was often correlated with "price upon request".
Yeah no. It's become a bit of a hobby of mine, heatpumps. If I ask 5 experts/installers to take a look at a building I'll get 6 estimates, varying wildly. Plus, installers are still consistently over dimensioning and thus killing your sCOP, because they don't want customers to complain 'its slow to heat' and so on.

Calculating the heat loss of a house is really not trivial. Often you'll have no idea of the materials used or the quality of installation, and not really a way of finding out unless your up for some destructive investigation.
When companies only have a 25% chance of approval they'd just submit 4 applicants per position. Most of this volume wouldn't be present if there was no limit.
I believe Sharlin is correct here. Rule #1 states `Split an integer into two smaller integers.` 1 -> [2, -1] breaks this rule due to 2 not being smaller than 1.
Not sure how that contradicts Claude's conclusions. Also, he's right. I might like anonymity but it is absolutely a 'want', not 'need'.
