You're right, I did leave that out. But you also left something out: equity. The real equation is that ∆ State = ∆ Change = ∆ Equity. So there are really three things that need to balance (or four or six if you consider the counterparty's books and depending on how you count). But the income/expense really has nothing to do with the actual transactions, they have to do with the arcane rules around paying your taxes as a business entity, where you can be taxed on income you haven't actually received yet, and deduct expenses you haven't actually paid yet, or not be allowed to deduct expenses you have paid until long after you've actually paid them (depreciation). This is generally not applicable to individuals running lemonade stands. This is (and I know you know this) the difference between cash and accrual accounting. Those terms hide the fact that the difference between these two is mostly a reflection of tax law.

Accrual is also a way of doing implicit projections into the future, which made sense back when accounting was done with pen and paper, and payments could not be initiated by the payee. In that world, there was no such thing as (for example) an automatically renewable subscription. Today there is. How would you account for signing up for such a subscription? Theoretically, an open-ended automtically renewable subscription is an infinite liability (unless you start taking interest rates into account, but of course no one does that because no one knows what interest rates are going to be in the future). The Right Way to do this is to keep track of it as an infinite series of transactions with time stamps, which would be impossible to do with pen and ink, but is trivial for a computer.
Yeah they're kind of different. I'm only really talking about TypedDicts because the original post was related to structural typing, which isn't what pydantic does. I do reach for pydantic first myself.
Strong agree; came here to recommend this — this is something I came up with by myself and thought I was the only one who did this; glad to find others think the same. Doing this has greatly improved my sense of direction (to much better than it was before I started using GPS/navigation). It's like getting instant feedback for your direction sense (e.g. I was driving west and just now I turned left, so I'm now driving south), and remaining oriented about where different places are wrt each other.

I find it hard to believe that it can be worse than RPi 3, which could try to draw up to 15W => 3A under the highest loads, while USB 2 could officially only go up to 2.5 W = 0.5A at 5V, resulting in countless corrupted SD cards. (15 W being the minimum maximum for USB C.)

I don’t think Netflix has a fast lane anywhere.

Netflix does offer to give servers to ISPs to put in their datacenters. So if your ISP is seeing congestion on the IX links, it is entirely possible that Netflix still works fine (because the traffic doesn’t leave the ISP and is therefore not hitting the congestion). But that is not a “fast lane”

That law is basically Japanese version of DMCA.

"Unfair Competition Prevention Act" is an antiqued piece of law first enacted in 1930s. Its original scope was trade malpractice such as corporate spying.

In 1990s, Japanese gov (somehow) decided to implement DRM protection in the framework of this law. So it ended up governing both trade secrets AND DRM.
I was definitely someone who wrote the FCC (futilely) in support of net neutrality in 2017, and I figured the inevitable outcome of the FCC decision back then would be skyrocketing broadband costs, fast lanes, etc.

Except none of it happened. It turns out there's actually kind of okay competition in this space. Maybe not as much as there should be, but prices have stayed reasonable, broadband access is expanding, and people by and large don't seem bothered by data caps when they're subject to them, and they have access to reasonably priced, uncapped plans.

All that said, I certainly won't say no to reinstating net neutrality, since I don't think you can argue it'll make anything worse. In fact it might make competition easier. But it's not the existential pillar to online existence that we seemed to think it was.

I think the article gets network slicing wrong. Using network slicing instead of the traffic shaping that the mobile edge router probably supports is a strange idea. The showcase network slicing use case was public safety comms. Network slicing is AFAIK not much used because it clashes with roaming. The article describes network slicing as reserving spectrum for certain apps. That's not how it works. It reserves capacity.

Still, zero-rating and traffic shaping should not be used to favor apps, especially not on a pay to play basis, for all the same net neutrality arguments as ever.

> IMHO it's similar to what happened to DevOps in the 2000s, you just don't need a big special team to help you deploy anymore, you hire a few specialists and mostly buy off the shelf solutions.

I advocate for these metaphors to help people better understand a reasonable expectation for LLMs in modern development workflows. Mostly because they show it as a trade-off versus a silver bullet. There were trade-offs to the evolution of devops, consider for example the loss of key skillsets like database administration as a direct result of "just use AWS RDS" and the explosion in cloud billing costs (especially the OpEx of startups who weren't even dealing with that much data or regional complexity!) - and how it indirectly led to Gitlabs big outage and many like it.

Both can be true at the same time.

The world's superpowers enforce nuclear non-proliferation mainly because it allows them to keep unfair political and military advantages to themselves. At the same time, one cannot deny that centralized weapon ownership made the use of such weapons more controllable: These nuclear states are powerful enough to establish a somewhat responsible chain of command to avoid their unreasonable or accidental uses, and so far these attempts are still successful. Also, due to the fact that they are "too big to fail", they were forced to hire experts to make detailed analysis on the consequences of nuclear wars, and the resulted MAD doctrine discouraged them from starting such wars.

On the other hand, if the same nuclear technologies are available to everyone, the chance of an unreasonable or accidental nuclear war will be higher. If even resourceful superpowers can barely keep these nuclear weapons under safe political and technical control (as shown by multiple incidents and near-misses during the Cold War [0]), surely a less resourceful state or military in possession of equally destructive weapons will have even more difficulties on controlling their uses.

At least this is how the argument goes (so far, I personally take no position).

Of course, I clearly realized that centralized control is not infallible. Months ago, in a previous thread on OpenAI's refusal on publishing technical details of GPT-4, most people believed that they were using it as an excuse to maintain a monopolistic control. Instead, I argued that perhaps OpenAI truly values the problem of safety right now - but acting responsibly right now is not an indication that they will still act responsibly in the future. There's no guarantee that the safety considerations will eventually be overridden in favor of financial gains.

I share a lot of this experience. My fix for "Lesson 4: GPT is really bad at producing the null hypothesis"

is to have it return very specific text that I string-match on and treat as null.

Like: "if there is no warm up for this workout, use the following text in the description: NOPE"

then in code I just do a "if warm up contains NOPE, treat it as null"
Plenty of people are unaware how delicate the line is though and talk too much and the wrong things at the border.
Reading about them, the main reason is because you have to manufacture regularly repeating slices of glass in a column over large distances whose thicknesses are usually on the order of the wavelength you're dealing with. So visible light requires some really small slices.

I could probably make fiber bragg gratings in my ceramics studio, yet it would require buying some Very specific thickness glass sheet, setting up a bunch of hole punch jigs to get 1 m worth out of 1 um slices, figuring out some way to actually layer 1,000,000 slices correctly, and then not just melting them to slag accidentally.

> Also, what's your alternative? Shouldn't anyone do anything just because in the grand scheme of things, it won't make a dent?

I was very clear in my alternative - I even posted a link to one such example real alternative in my post.

We should be very clear headed about the types of technologies that can actually reduce worldwide global emissions. Anything else should be completely ignored. Reducing carbon emissions isn't like cleaning up litter. If you clean up litter in your little town, you're left with a sparkling clean town, which is great, even if other towns don't do anything and look like a dump. With carbon reduction, if you find a way to reduce .00001% of emissions, it literally does nothing to affect overall climate and temperature. In fact, I think it can do more harm than good, as it is basically a way for people to pay off their conscience without doing anything that makes a difference.

The organization on the article is highly dysfunctional. But it's not going to be solved by higher management getting busy with the details of the project's work.

The problem here is how the work is divided, with everybody disempowered and turned into helpless cogs. If the goal was to prohibit any kind of improvement, they wouldn't make such a perfect attempt... And yet, that's the "normal" way to organize software development.

I’m currently doing 6.3/9.1 with 81ms latency on AT&T. I’m seeing Europe averaging 48 Mbps [1], though my experience in Italy and the UK has been far spottier than in America. (Lot of people in this thread confusing home and mobile internet. I get 1Gb/35 for $65 at home, but that’s irrelevant.)

In France, I pay monthly 27.48€ (~$29) for 1Gbps down and 500Mbps up (in theory, in practice, it's more like 500~600Mbps down, 250~300Mbps up). This includes a TV option for 2€ (without it, it's 25.48€).

My provider is SFR (the only one giving access to optical fiber in the small village where I live).

EDIT: I'm talking about home internet. For mobile internet, I pay 19.99€/month for unlimited access (5G), but I haven't done a speedtest.

My current service is 130 a month for 200/20.

One game I've played with myself whenever I've moved to a new area is to drive or walk until I've felt irremedially lost, and then break out the map or GPS to get back home. (I remember once or twice trying it with random dice rolls at intersections, but this didn't work as well as taking the least-familiar or most interesting-looking choice.) It's a great way to discover places you'd otherwise never visit, and is a fantastic way to give yourself a gestalt sense of the locality.

The authors don't say what the source of magnetism is, nor why the merger triggered it.

Is it because of rotation, caused by the two stars spiralling in towards each other?

But thinking about it, I don't know why a spinning blob of molten iron should result in a magnetic field; if there's magnetism, there should be electric current, and I don't know why a star merger should result in a current. In fact, apparently I don't know why either the Sun or the Earth has a magnetic field.
One thing to keep in mind is that cargo ships are one of the most efficient ways of transport stuff. It is likely that any advantage from this sailing ship was lost driving the cargo to warehouse and then shipping it to destination. It is strange to worry about the cheap part of shipping and ignore the expensive parts.

Also, there are lots of disposable goods that are essential like food and toilet paper. Lots of food is shipped by container. What is the difference between a mango and an apple? Clothing is frequently shipped by container. How are you going to decide what clothing is frivolous fast fashion and what is essential?

Claude is indeed an amazing model, the fact that Sonnet and Haiku are so good is a game changer - GPT4 is too expensive and GPT3.5 is very mediocre. Getting 95% of GPT4 performance for GPT3.5 prices feels like cheating.
> In Europe they only do this for the last mile as far as I know, and this actually also prevents innovation since again there isn’t competition that can meaningfully introduce alternatives (let’s say cable versus fiber versus whatever). But I agree that approach is still an important tool (certainly better than nothing) and the US should adopt it.

Actually many places offer choice between cable and DSL variants. But once there is fiber in the ground it actually doesn't make much sense to go with anything else, so choices disappear (only for connection type, not ISP). With fiber it's much cheaper to provide high speed access (and there is a much clearer update path).

I am surprised to see the website saying:

Sandboxes don't have network access, so if a malicious document can compromise one, it can't phone home

With a combo CSS, HTML, JS it is networkable from localhost.
At end of life, cargo ships are cut up into scrap steel. That scrap is then melted down and re-used to make new steel. I strongly suspect that, if you take into account the energy used to manufacture the ship, sailboats will turn out to have a far higher carbon footprint per ton-mile of shipping than normal cargo ships. Cargo ships, as dirty as they seem on a per-ship basis, are crazy efficient on a per ton-mile basis.

But all that aside, sailing cargo ships are nothing more than a curiosity. Their capacity is tiny, they are very slow, are limited in their routes, etc. And as far as I can tell Grain de Sail's business is NOT shipping. It's some sort of luxury wine & chocolates with an eco theme. I suspect the boat is just a way for the owner to have the company pay for his yachts (the boats only make 2 cargo trips a year) .
It often is though. Many of these sites are employing the journalists who are uncovering the original story.
