Archaeology was a booming field in Britain throughout the 19th century, being a fashionable pursuit for predominantly upper-class individuals. Many private collections were started, and most of the great museums were founded during this time. Egyptology in particular struck a chord with European society at the time.

Just have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museums_with_Egyptian_... to get an rough idea of the extent of Egypt-mania in Britain; the 'UK' section dwarfs the others! So although that quote is rather vague, I strongly suspect that it is simply referring to the large quantity of Egyptian artefacts that were being excavated and moved to museums in Britain, especially after Epypt was annexed by and amalgamated into the British Empire in 1882.

Paxton, er, very much doesn’t meet the Encyclopaedia Britannica’s definition of conservatism. (For that matter, nor does the modern British Conservative Party). “Conservative”, in US politics, is a term of art, and is often used to describe quite radical right-wing politicians, like Paxton.

Ukraine is far from depleting their manpower, since they explicitly tailored their initial draft to older people.

In fact, they just lowered their draft age from 27 to 25 [0].

They realize they're fighting a demographic war for independence, and so are attempted to protect their future population from the worst battlefield attrition.

I struggle to think of examples where a suspect has actually ELUDED law enforcement due to citizens recording an interaction or arrest, and I'd be very curious to see any such thing.

I will agree that such recording has interfered with the arrest process at times, and that is more problematic.

I am the developer of https://golfcourse.wiki which I see as very conceptually similar to what you're trying to build. It's on App Engine, the front end is HTMX, my backend is Flask, and my DB is mongo. If you're in the SF area, I'd be happy to discuss the project with you, costs involved (pretty low), etc.

I honestly had no idea what I was doing when I started it during the pandemic, but I now have about 2k unique users per month, and it seems to be holding itself together pretty well. My best metrics are the google search results which are going in a very positive direction.

You probably can't drive them to extinction this way. The introduced mosquitoes only help within a small range (~400m I think) of where they put the little devices they come from, because that particular mosquito doesn't travel far from where it's born. And even within that range, a 95% reduction is great, but the year you stop, that 5% will just start doing whatever they did before and a couple years later you'll be back to where you were beforehand.Insect populations grow exponentially.

Yes, or even require a challenge sent to the current line with a grace period, and you get to choose your own grace period up front. In this way, someone can't jack your line while they know you're on a flight.

So, I lose my phone (maybe it's sitting on the side of the road somewhere) and need a new line. Since I can't reply to it my line will transfer after 8 (?) hours of no response to the challenge.
I had an adjacent idea a few weeks ago, but centered more around the idea that it may be difficult for new open-source contributors to find appropriate issues to work on. Suggesting and allowing to discover interesting issues across multiple repositories would allow the prospective user to get a nice view of what interesting issues are available to make a first / second / third contribution to a project, and possibly to also track contributions / pull requests etc.

Just to be clear, you're saying the problem is that too many people are treating LLMs as if they don't have emotions, intentions, or consciousness?

Although not true of Mr. Hinton, most people anthropomorphize LLMs because they don't understand them.

In fact, if you ask GPT-4, "Can you fact-check this response?" and then paste in your response, you'll learn a lot.

Coal loses on cost before you even build the furnace, let alone put something in it to burn.

Why do we need to currently develop large scale storage? That is only needed for full renewable grid and we are long way from that. The current answer to storage are natural gas power plants which emit CO2. We should be comparing the feasibility of storage to those.

It is much better to use today's money to build more renewables instead of wasting it on expensive storage. Some storage makes sense to reduce the evening peak. But we will have a better idea of what storage we need, and what storage is cheapest to build in a decade when there are a lot more renewables.

I think this is conceptually wrong from a layering perspective because youre punching through the abstraction and making it leaky on purpose. This just moves the problem down one layer in the stack - there will be legitimate new use cases for “sim card ID spoofing” and then we’re back to square one. Also from a usability standpoint “getting a new phone” is precisely the wrong time to lock users out of their accounts

A perfect analogy would be trying to implement security with mac addresses but applied to internet. It just makes a mess of an abstraction layer and then you have to rebuild it because those abstractions were useful (mac address spoofing has legitimate uses because mac addresses were used for security and then people realized they needed to be able to transparently swap things out)
Nice talk. The first (and best!) logs search solution I experienced in my career was simply a gigantic tree of compressed logs on a hadoop cluster. As someone who spent a bunch of time analyzing logs, the "query interface" being "anything you can sling at the hadoop cluster" was phenomenally awesome. The basic computering tools are programming languages, and eventually you encounter problems where you need a real (Turing-complete) one.

One great side effect of this was service developers weren't afraid to write logs. We logged excessively, and it didn't cost too much. If we'd been indexing everything in ES it would have bankrupted us.

These days with S3 and the cloud, hadoop (or the EMR suite) per se probably isn't the way to go, but I'd sure like to see observability solutions giving me a first-class programming model that I as a user can interact with--not some bespoke "query DSL", and for them to accept that instantaneous indexed retrieval isn't important.

This paper is really interesting: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/osdi21-rodrigues.pdf

Stuff like this gives me hope we can have it both ways. With highly tuned compression and programmatic access the user is empowered and the cost is minimized.
HaHa! Sounds exactly like what a child would say.

Since you obviously weren't around in the 1960s 70s, you seem unaware that the overwhelming majority of corporate and social reform that improved the modern world originated in that era.

Yea, I've lived through a few "cultural shifts", and none of them were in the last 30 years. The last several decades have been a pure war and corporate power pep rally.

Starting in the 80s (with Ronny Rayguns) followed by the Clinton administration's US version of Tony Blair taking the DEMs for a hard right turn into previous REP territory, it's continued downhill into today's quagmire.

We all thought the "culture wars" were over in 1979 and that ongoing progress would result because it's "already changing among the people".

Let me clue you into something that it's not possible to comprehend until you get closer to the far side of middle age: as your cohort ages, and becomes more invested in the status quo, many of those idealistic imperatives will evaporate. This has little to do with the era, and everything to do with the position in life of the individual. Believe it or not, your cohort will be the new boomers.

If anything, from my perspective, it's clear that the lives of the millennial generations are SO entangled in corporate platforms, it's pretty much impossible for them to fight back against the corps.

When I see the majority of zoomers throwing out their phones because the corps that operate those platforms are practicing pure exploitation, then I'll believe that significant change is possible in the new millennium.

At this point, I see no social movement with sufficient breadth to bring about the kind of changes needed to correct the ever increasing exploitation for profit.

WRT the specific topic of the article, it's clear the author is not of the neo-liberal capitalist strain, because if he were, then everything he cites would be presented as a good thing. According to right-wing-nut-ism, squeezing the workers and customers to bring more to the shareholders is how it's SUPPOSED to work. Goggle and Amazonia are working exactly according to plan.

This is the fundamental flaw of modern (especially US) capitalism. Shareholder return is the ONLY metric. It's not that it's the most important thing, its that it's the only thing. This is not an oversight, this is by design.

Since most people seem unable, or unwilling, to see our current situation as a result of rampant runaway capitalism, this trend will continue to get worse.

Take a picture now, because in a couple of years these are going to be the "good old days"...
One key feature of APFS was the metadata location didn't overlap with any hfs+ metadata location, so the two file systems could co-exist on the drive. So I presume they created the apfs metadata inside the hfs+ unallocated space, and so if it failed, hfs+ would happily overwrite the apfs metadata and continue on without any impact.

I've never seen this. No tests, un-clean PR. Describing them how to fix it would take more time than re-doing the PR myself. Of course maybe if I thought they were going to contribute a bunch more PRs it would be worth spending time training them but I've never had that kind of contributor.
Not who you asked (and I don't quite understand everything) but I think that's about right, except in the continuous world. You pick an encoding scheme (either the Lagrangian or the Hamiltonian) to go from state -> vector. You have a "rules" matrix, very roughly similar to a Markov matrix, H, and (stretching the limit of my knowledge here) exp(-iHt) very roughly "translates" from the discrete stepwise world to the continuous world. I'm sure that last part made more knowledgeable people cringe, but it's roughly in the right direction. The part I don't understand at all is the -i factor: exp(-it) just circles back on itself after t=2pi, so it feels like exp(-iHt) should be a periodic function?

They were complaining about being able to buy 30% less. I gave some reasons that isn't the case, that decreasing in spending power would be less than 30%.

I'm not saying anything "avoids" inflation, I'm saying they're exaggerating the problem.

And stop saying it doesn't matter. Those numbers being different values does matter.

A huge portion of your text is acting like it's a binary bad/not-bad, and then acting like I said it's not bad. I'm not saying that.

> Again, your money does not increase like this.

You don't have a significant amount of money. You have income, you have assets, you have debt.

Only the literal money changes 1:1 with inflation.

If you talk about what your "money" can buy when complaining about inflation, that's not literally the $500 in your checking account. It's not a complaint that you lost a few hundred dollars, one time, and nothing else changed. "money" in this sense is also talking about the bigger group of income and assets.

> You are getting awfully pedantic. We talk about inflation in terms of price hikes because that's something that affects everyone. Accounting for all the inflation avoidance schemes and possible wage increases that people get to cope with inflation would require a different statistic. Those coping mechanisms are a red herring when it comes to the actual performance of our currency, which is what people actually care about.

This comes so close to agreeing with me.

Yes, "different statistic". That's my fundamental argument. My entire point is that ein0p was conflating "inflation" with measurements of how much they can buy when those are different in a few important ways.

And by "schemes" I'm talking about a couple things that together affect the majority of people, not edge/corner cases.

Using accurate numbers is good mmmkay?
Exactly. Making a Blu-ray super high quality involves no additional marginal cost. The disc space is there to begin with, so might as well use it.

But every time a movie gets streamed, it costs the streamer twice as much if the file is twice as large. So streaming bandwidth will generally be minimized as much as possible to a "just barely good enough" quality level.

It's not about technology improving or how old Blu-rays are, it's about economics.

Hubris with regards to urban planning is hardly unique to programmers. Planning boards and transit authorities and city councils and everyone who's got opinions on those things is intervening, and sometimes messing things up. Cities are not in some romantic state-of-nature where everything is organic and bottom-up and intervening risks destroying the ecology.

Between fatalism and high modernism, there's room to actually improve things on the margins, check to see how it's going, and iterate.

You're tilting at windmills here. Where in this thread do you see anyone taking about the LLM as anything other than a next-token prediction model?

Literally all of the pushback you're getting is because you're trivializing the choice of model architecture, claiming that it's all so obvious and simple and it's all the same thing in the end.

Yes, of course, these models have to be well-suited to run on our computers, in this case GPUs. And sure, it's an interesting perspective that maybe they work well because they are well-suited for GPUs and not because they have some deep fundamental meaning. But you can't act like everyone who doesn't agree with your perspective is just an AI hypebeast con artist.
I didn't use it, but have a question for anybody who did...did it automatically fill it out for you with all the information the IRS already has?

If not there's really little value in the effort as that's what makes doing taxes terrible -- reentering a bunch of information which various providers have already sent in, all tied to your SSN, and then not provided back to you when you need it. It's really only collected to be used as a "gotcha" if you're ever audited.

I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes, but the system in the U.S. is beyond stupid.

For perspective, if this rate persisted forever (it's probably a one-time bump) then (assuming a life expectancy of 76) about 4.8% of the population would have undergone this procedure.
Laws that rely on an officers/departments personal reading of a situation/interpretation are easily confused and abused, especially when it's something as fuzzy as "interference". Having clarity is nice. I personally think it's fine to give an officer some sort of personal space. If I were an officer arresting someone, I wouldn't want someone affiliated with them standing 5 feet behind me, where I would have to worry about being attacked. Not sure how this works indoors though, where 25 feet would make observation impossible.

This assumes sane body camera policies are in place, like immediate dismissal if the camera/mic is turned off/covered, during any part up to or during an arrest.
