The bit about the 1944 study and how they rebounded eating way more food after their starvation really struck an emotional chord with me.

I had a few years of financial struggle as a high schooler and student, to the point where I was constantly hungry and very skinny. It was a bit of a traumatic time for me for other reasons, and this article gave me more insight into another dimension of it.

Since I hit a career stride and haven't been walking nearly as much, I've been at my largest ever. A kind of eternal overcompensation. My father also sometimes excused wasteful grocery expenditure saying "I've gone without before; I refuse to do it again".

This is an aggressively bad-faith interpretation of what school-choice advocates are doing.

All school choice does is give poor parents the same kind of school choice that rich parents have.

If you're rich and the schools around you suck, you just move to a neighborhood with good schools! That means you pay taxes in that school district, which fund your kids schools.

If you're poor and the schools around you suck, you have no choices. You send your kids to the sucky school.

School choice would mean allowing the same choice for poor folks. They would be able to choose where their kids go to school, and their tax money (in the form of a voucher) would follow them to that school.

How could such a scheme "retard public education efforts"? The point of public education is not to prop up failing state-run schools, the point is educating the public. Undermining shitty schools is a feature, not a bug.
SEO was/is a good thing because it made search a lot better for many years. The real problem are the individuals gaming/abusing the hell out of the system. Add AI content to the mix and I do fear it's a problem that can't be sorted out by Google Search, at least as how we know it now.

It still has its uses and I personally still turn to it (well DuckDuckGo usually) to find specific things. But like all things, it's one tool that serves a certain purpose.

Hi about pulling a sample of good random every N invocations to still allow for fast PRNG but to ideally defeat these schemes. Maybe use the real signals RNL value to seed the PRNG. Just a thought.
I worry for a new generation of young rebellious people thinking: "becuase we can talk to computers, we no longer need to learn to read nor write".

and I say this as I come to terms with how learning mathematics, as much as I like trying to understand and eventually really understanding some concepts. I am also faced with the grim truth that nobody cares. and that it doesn't matter. it hasn't made a significant difference in my career and I don't think it'll make any going forwards

who cares if I understand or thinkg I understand differntial geometry? I have never been anywhere near a workplace setting where that would have made any difference

Nah, I want them to first fix the basic shit I actually (would) use.

For example, when I'm driving and a timed phone alarm goes off for the Android phone in my pocket, I ask it to silence the alarm, yet instead rebukes me by falsely claiming no alarms are active right now.

It's fixed now that I checked, but for a while it would also secretly ignore the date that I already specified for a scheduled event while it was prompting me to clarify the time of day.

The highest end Mac Studio with 196GB of ram won't even be enough to run a Q4 quant of the 400B+ (don't forget the +) model. At this point, one have to consider an Epyc for CPU inference or costlier gpu solutions like the "popular" 8xA100 80GB...

The explicit quote from the article was "believing it required so much liquid, and such a high concentration of chemical nutrients, that it would cause inflammation and burning when administered.", and I am assuming that the former was not just redundant with the latter.

Directly mucking with glucagon and insulin for anything short of directly demonstrable life and death is going to be a fraught proposal in almost any circumstance, I would speculate, given that the risk is not just wasting away from malnutrition but much more direct tissue damage and death. (Much like I suspect something with a risk profile like Accutane's would not get approved again _now_ with the body of evidence we have for what happens if you introduce something that's "almost, but not quite, vitamin A" into rapidly growing bodies...)
Right, that's what I wrote. It doesn't say 'all posts by new users are killed without review'. Like, why would anyone do that? How would the site work?
Yes, but LLMs come out of training as experts in approximately any single thing you can think of, and then some, and all that in dozen of languages. Humans don't achieve even a fraction of this kind of breadth.

Jesus christ, I've had to dismiss at least 20 different popup things just in the Messages app since I reset my phone a few days ago. Just fuck off already!

And guess what. After resetting the phone, I still can only make a successful outgoing phone call 1 out of every 3 tries, and it will only work after a reboot. It worked fine after the reset for about a day. Now, again, it barely works as a phone.

Rodney Dangerfield was right. There is no fucking respect for the people using the phones. There is only respect for the stocks going up. Fuck you and give us money, that's what smartphones are all about.

Yesterday I ordered a Nokia flip phone. I'm done with iOS and Android. It has added nothing to my life except distractions and maintenance. I spent 3 days trying to get this piece of trash to work as a phone. Just a total waste of my life.
Wonder if they also run out of ingredients? Seems like a nice way to simplify operations if you don’t ever end up with waste.
For anyone planning a visit to Spain, I can't recommend Madrid highly enough. I wasn't sure what to expect from the city, but it might be my favorite I've ever been to. Madrid is beautiful, clean, walkable, and very welcoming. The food was all amazing and it seemed like we never had to wait for a table. I had a great time in Barcelona, but I'd recommend Madrid over Barcelona in a heartbeat.
They... keep records? It's not like they have to memorize it lol
Well, "reserve power" is from starvation, intense exercise, or weird diets, not hunger.

From brain perspective, "reserve power" would be when it ends up relying on ketone bodies, which start to be produced in higher numbers when you have been in high glucagon, low insulin condition for a longer period of time. Long enough that the liver burned through its glycogen stores and the liver cells redirect oxaloacetate to gluconeogenesis (producing glucose from stuff in the blood) to the point where the cells become unable to finish its own metabolism of free fatty acids. It then turns the intermediate products it can't use itself into ketone bodies.

That part can be regulated with nutrition, glucagon and insulin, but having plenty of glucose won't replace sensations from the digestive system itself.
I’ve been defaulting to Reddit for a long time and I’m shocked at how good search is on TikTok for the right topics. The fact that Google so prominently and commonly surfaces “[query] Reddit” as a suggested search says a lot.
but to be fair the ability to schedule texts and messages in other apps is fantastic and much better than android which still doesn't have a native orchestration tool that apps can build against.

I spoke to a bunch of lawyers who all told me they hoped I found some lawyer who would do that. The EEOC decided that if a manager directs their reports (engineers) to advertise a position, then people apply to the position as directed by emailing the engineers, then the engineers say some stuff about gender quotas, that's fine, because the applicant didn't fill out some other form and the company disavows this recruitment process to the EEOC while using it to source candidates.

In New Zealand agents earn more if they turn over properties quickly. The agents financial motivation is to get a deal done quickly and most don't care much if they are screwing over the vendor (although repeat customer and reputation matter somewhat).

Commission is a percentage of sale price so most people incorrectly think the agents incentive is to sell for a higher price.

Agents earn more by doing less hours and selling more properties more quickly: so the agent convinces the vendor to take the first offer and bring date forward. I learnt that watching a realtor called Andrew Swift screw over a little old lady (she had dementia so Andrew had an easy job whitewashing the children with power of attorney).

We don't have buyers agents in New Zealand and the commissions are nowhere near 6%, so the dynamics are somewhat different.

Lots of agents will undermine their vendor - you see it often when talking with the agent. You can find good agents with integrity, but they are not common.

As someone who has been on the email client hunt ever since Google Inbox was taken off my feet I can say that I'm a very happy customer of eM client and it's actually one of the few apps that make it painful to leave Windows (since the devs have no intention of porting it to Linux).

It's pay once and it comes with a free version if you just wanna give it shot, the only bad thing for me was how annoying the website was with dark patterns trying to push sales, the software itself is great.
Been there as well. Took me a while to recognize I did not have to finish every plate of food, that i could either save it for later when i was hungry again or just throw it away.
It is intended. The goal by all governments is to "encourage" smartphone usage. That ticket situation is both carrot and stick.

Exactly. There's been a lot of easy to identify trash on Google for a very long time that they haven't bothered to deal with. I bet it's partly because they rely too much on metrics. "Oooo lots of people clicked on the clickbait! They must want more!"

This might be something of a technicality but I doubt it was their marketing team who is at fault. If it’s over-monetization of search results that you have a problem with as I do, it’s more likely to have been product leaders with aggressive monetization targets.

No, this assumes you've already split your tasks into quanta of approximately the same duration - so all tasks are weighted equally in terms of execution time. If each of the tasks have different weights you might be looking at something like deficit round-robin [1], which I've looked at implementations for in RabbitMQ and we're thinking about how to implement in PG as well [2].

Linear algebra routines seem like one of the worst possible use cases for current LLMs.

Large amounts of repetitive yet meaningfully detailed code. Algorithms that can (and often are) implemented using different conventions or orders of operations. Edge cases out the wazoo.

A solid start seems like it would be using LLMs to write extensive test suites which you can use to verify these new implementations.

> in general Open Source doesn't matter for almost everyone?

Most of the qualities that come with open source (which also come with llama 3), matter a lot.

But no, it is not a binary, yes or no thing, where something is either open source and useful or not.

Instead, there is a very wide spectrum is licensing agreements. And even if something does not fit the very specific and exact definition of open source, it can still be "almost" there and therefore be basically as useful.

I am objecting to the idea that any slight deviation from the highly specific definition of open source means that it no longer "counts".

Even though, If something is 99.9% the same as open source, then you get 99.9% of the benefits, and it is dishonest to say that it is significantly different than open source.

I always wanted to make a custom arithmetic trainer that taught left-to-right arithmetic. Left to right arithmetic is faster (you can start reading the final answer before you finish the less significant digits) and you get the most important information first.

The book I learned it from started by teaching that sums over 9 are "dot"-digit (so 7+8 = dot 5). When summing a column of digits, you just mark a dot so you don't have to hold a value larger than 9 in your head.
Besides everything said here in comments, Zuck would be actively looking to own the next platform (after desktop/laptop and mobile), and everyone's trying to figure what that would be.

He knows well that if competitors have a cash cow, they have $$ to throw at hundreds of things. By releasing open-source, he is winning credibility, establishing Meta as the most used LLM, and finally weakening the competition from throwing money on the future initiatives.

What I wrote above is basically the summary, it crawled the mempool and checked the address interfaces to discover Defi exchanges automatically.

I found maybe 20-30 exchanges that were not publicly advertised, so there was quite a bit of liquidity there. It looked for triangular arbitrage opportunities, then optimised the amount and computed gas costs to check if it was profitable. There was a lot of compute required, about 12,000 paths a second were searched and a profitable trade would be found about once every 3 hours.

“Optimising the amount” was a bit tricky too - too little you leave money on the table, too much you cause slippage - but you know the good thing about DeFi is that through our ETH nodes we have a copy of the blockchain and I had already written an EVM disassembler for another project, so I had a lot of knowledge of EVM internals - so I could simulate the trade executions inside the optimiser locally, which greatly helped “realism”

The whole system was profitable for about 8 months, it netted me about 180k usd before it tapered off - I don’t know why but I suspect someone else found the strategy/was doing the same thing, so I took the cash out of it, paid tax and moved on.

If you’re interested in the tech it was all just pure Python, networkx for the graph stuff, shared memory, multiprocessing and lots of IPC, the whole thing operated in RAM because it has to be quick (exponential number of paths to search) - anything important (debugging / trade execution) was thrown in a queue and written out by another process

After that, I built this https://atomictessellator.com
OK, but note that Crohn's (and ulcerative colitis) are nearly unknown in the developing world. For reasons we don't understand, they are caused by modernity. So 90 years ago having Crohn's would be much less likely. (Symptoms from both Crohn's and ulcerative colitis don't usually present until the teens or early twenties, so this is not a case of infants with the disease simply dying early in the developing world.)
I think the final paragraph is a great way to frame it:

Great article. But I hesitate to call feathers one of evolution's cleverest inventions. The natural world is chock full of amazing evolved engineering from the huge (the hearts of blue whales) to the intricate (the brains of hominids) to the diverse (the various forms of eyes from compound to pinhole, to lensed), to the tiny (white blood cells). Everywhere you look there are feats of engineering that would awe anyone.

I didn't actually get laid off, I was one of the people still there trying to figure out who was gone. Part of what makes the random nature so memorable is the refusal to tell us who had been laid off, so everyone spent days pinging others and building lists (when someone tried sharing a list of laid-off people in a public slack channel they were told to take it down). I got the bonus bizarre experience of eventually hearing that my direct manager was gone.
