The saddest part of the whole Snowden affair is that despite documentaries, movies, books, press etc nobody actually cares. The illegal stuff they got caught doing, they still do. The loose legal authorisation for the rest, reauthorised every year while everyone nods along at how disgusting it is.

In slay the spire, both HP and Potions are limited resources, so throwing a potion to save HP is not necessarily a wise decision if you're at a low risk of overflowing your potion inventory and won't save much HP. There's also deck dependance here where you CANNOT win certain fights with your current deck without having a certain potion saved, but you CAN survive the fights until that fight without using potions with minimal to no HP lost.

The better analogy in this case is the resource gold, where it's usually a trap to pass up buying a useful item in order to save your gold for a better once since that will cost you HP on average/will increase your variance of HP loss and end runs. There's items in the game like "Maw Bank" which generate gold each floor until you spend it at a shop which tempt your monkey brain into dying halfway through the game without having visited a shop once. While saving potions for half the run happens regularly, saving gold for half the run tends to end poorly.

I find that a lot of in-the-weeds economics podcasts and publication tend to hew pretty close to reality in their analysis. Mainly because ideological bent, unless it has an economic basis backed by data, is largely worthless, or even harmful. They don't tend to cover everything, but they do provide a nice reference point to judge other news sources by.

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.”

Just to play devil's advocate here, what would be the down side if no one studied political science? The country managed to survive pretty well before that field of study was even a thing.
It still counts as a scam even if someone eventually succeeds. Whether the given thing is a scam depends on whether, at the moment of utterance, the statement is a lie meant to accomplish some goal or not. It doesn't exclude the possibility that success might happen someday. This is what I mean about the bizarre morals of startup hustler types. Lying to extend your runway is still lying and normal people still think its a scam.

Java was in real danger in the seven years that it took to go from 5 to 7. Very little of substance was added and it didn't appear like there was a path forward to get any real new features added to the language.

Yes, Java is not the language to use if you want the hot new PL ideas in your language. But languages need to continue to move forward because it's not like PL research is dead either.

I think Java does a really good job now at being conservative with what they add while still keeping things modern enough that people aren't abandoning the language. Once features have proved themselves in other, less conservative languages, the Java team can add them, with the benefit of seeing what sorts of problems might arise.

> almost all workloads aren't anywhere near saturating the AVX instruction max bandwidth on a CPU since Haswell

That’s true, but GPUs aren’t only good at FLOPs, the memory bandwidth in them is also an order of magnitude faster than system memory.

In my previous computer, the numbers were 484 GB/second for 1080 Ti, and 50 GB/second for DDR4 system memory. In my current one, they are 672 GB/second for 4070 Ti super, and 74 GB/second for DDR5 system memory.

For that to make sense, the n-dimensional sphere must not live in an Euclidean n-dimensional space, but a space over the complex numbers (a Hilbert space) -- that is, coordinates for the space are complex numbers. Also note that (this is a little beside the point) the n-dimensional sphere picture only works for quantum states that can be described with a finite number of dimensions (like in quantum computing): to talk about even simple things like position and momentum of particles, states must live in a infinite-dimensional space.

More importantly (as is pointed out in the lecture), every time-evolution of a quantum state from A to B can be represented as a unitary operator, and if you want to take the square root any such operator, you must in general use complex numbers (or something equivalent). Taking the square root like that is a very simple operation that answers the question "what is the operator for the evolution to the point halfway between A and B?"

Journalists should not be trusted. Articles like this especially, "X isn't Y", should be treated with skepticism and profound scrutiny. If ten media outlets come out with such articles, you can fairly safely assume X is in fact Y.
The Embedding model is only involved in the "R" part (retrieval). You need to use the same embedding model for indexing and retrieval, though, that is important.

The Embedding model is independent of the actual LLM used in generation. You can use any embedding model with any LLM. In fact ada is only one option and there are lot of really good embedding models, also ones you can easily run local, or ones which are a lot of better than ada, readily available. ada is not the best choice in all cases.

Boston Dynamics makes all kinds of robots. None of them are consumer products, so I don't think the very good arguments, like Angela Collier's, against having one in the home will be an impediment to developing very capable humanoid robots.

Seeing how this one moves, it is human-ish, being bipedal, but it isn't mimicking human movement range.
The low latency only works when the source is sending an analog signal which is essentially controlling the electron gun. An NES for example, could decide between scan lines what the next scaling to emit would look like.

Most modern systems (and computers) are sending digital signals where entire frames need to be constructed and reconstructed in a buffer before they can be displayed. Many HD CRT televisions have terrible latency because they’ll take the analog scan line signal, buffer it into a frame, scale it to the native CRT resolution, then scan it back out to the screen. A high end PVM might allow a straight path, but there is maybe one Toshiba HD CRT that doesn’t introduce several frames of latency (iirc).

That said, from 1999 to 2008 I ran 1600x1200 on 19in CRTs and except for professional LCDs, nothing had resolution, pitch, and color that came close. For 2008 was the inflection point where cost and quality of LCDs exceeded CRTs.

My experience was different. While I'm all for exploring off the beaten path, I think the backlash for things being too touristy is overblown. I thoroughly enjoyed St. Mark's and the surrounding zone just as much as I enjoyed exploring the nooks and alleyways.

I can say the same about the Las Ramblas and other touristy areas of Barcelona too.

Maybe it's because I am a tourist. While I tend to visit cities many times, I'm never going to be a native Venetian and will never have the same experience of the city as one.

Yes, the US gives all the rights you list to its citizens. But with representation wffectively degenerated into a two-party system by the quirks of the eletion systems, any independent candidates must gather massive support to have a chance. It is more likely that an independent candidate will end up supporting their worst opposition because winner takes all heavily punishes splinter factions by completely discarding their votes.

This is the reason why Kennedy's efforts to appear on the ballots can ultimately hand Trump the presidential election by splitting the Biden canp.P

The US has culturally accepted this flawed system. The UK has a multiparty parliament despite first past the post. This comes at the price of up to more than 60% of the votes getting effectively discarded.

I believe firmly that the US would be served better today if it transitioned to a proportional voting system. But the constitution is treated with too much deference to expect meaningful updates to get it in line with 21st century realities.

You just can’t agree that being opposed to the polio vaccine is entirely idiotic. It’s amazing. It’s been an effective vaccine for over 50 years. There is overwhelming scientific and statistical evidence that it is a good thing and that it should be required. Being opposed to it is entirely moronic.

That people like you are willing to rationalize anti-vaccine sentiments on the polio vaccine is quite illuminating. And you suggest of me that I’m the victim of propaganda!
I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm trying to get away from digital media. I've got a pretty cool shortwave radio, and am always looking for interesting things to listen to. But, our local NPR station is insufferable at least half the time, so much so that I don't even bother trying it most days. As an aside, we are almost always listening to the NPR classical music station. It's absolutely beautiful, and a gift to listeners everywhere. I just wish they'd give up their jazz Fridays and opera Sundays.

No, UI redesigns are a waste of time for the user.

They are very effective at getting the executives who sponsor them promoted, because they look great in a PowerPoint. The actual customer of an executive is the finance department, because they are the ones who actually control the headcount & budgets that an executive needs, and they are usually not the user. How the product works is often invisible to someone who is not a daily user, and financial analysts often don't have time to be power users in all the products they are evaluating. How it looks is very visible. Therefore, when deciding which projects to fund, they are often biased toward shiny.

Notice that founder-run companies, and ones that are too small to have normal corporate functional separation, usually don't invest in visual redesigns unless the existing UI is really bad. Big corporations do it continuously.
> so I can't put all the blame on a 17 year old

Oh there's plenty of blame to go around for sure.

The banks, the schools, the government. Even the businesses supplying the job market with opportunities that over emphasize post secondary.

But at 17 or 18 you're not completely blameless either. You know there are consequences for the decisions you make and that you are ultimately responsible for your own actions. This is taught from grade school.
Yeah there is no perfect system. And money will always give an advantage. Compensating for that and validating that people not just bought 3 seasons worth of tickets but actually watched the games, would mean checking id:s (Which also has downsides).

I do think the loyal fan systems with their drawbacks are still much better than the purely market economic approach. In the example of Super Bowl, the people who wanted to be sure to get tickets would need to have season tickets to all teams. The only resource we are awarded fairly is time. Estimating how much time we dedicated to the team/artist is fair game.
The only breaking changes I have run into are:

1) The "new" module system. (Which is, IMO, way to hard to disable for legacy code)

2) Removing some old crypto support from the default provider. And removing even mire support when a "secure valudation" flag was set. Probably for the best, but still broke stuff.

Other than that, the only Java code that really feels legacy is:

A) Pre generic collections.

B) an overuse of design patterns (normally not a language issue, although there are still a few bad APIs in the standard library)

C) Long form classes where a lambda would suffice.

Given how much the language has changed, that's a pretty impressive list. And a day with a linter can modernize most of a codebase without much effort.

My sister died very suddenly, apparently fine one minute and irrecoverably dead the next. I know I'm never completely safe.

Maybe the better term in this case is "protected," but I'm not sure. "This person, here with me, is not a threat to me, and I know that in my bones. Further, he would interpose himself between me and any threat that should arise in this moment." That's the feeling.

Most people experience that as infants. Parents are supposed to love their children this way. And it's important for the neurological development of the parasympathetic nervous system. I just didn't get to until my thirties.
The development never stops. In a few years we will look back and see how the previous models were and how they're now. How we couldn't run LLaMa 70B on MacBook Air and now we can.

Same thing with lacking right-click to open in a new tab or copy a link. Broken web page, IMO. I will only use such a site because I have to (for work or an unavoidable subject such as health or banking). I will never become a returning user of such a site if I can avoid it.

The world does not want for lack of Political Science graduates. It's pretty high on the list of "I have no idea what to study but I need a degree" choices, as evidenced by me gravitating toward it after successively eliminating basically everything else (except, ironically, Computer Science, which would have served me much better in hindsight).

Poli Sci is - perhaps not surprisingly - a lot like law where there are pretty good jobs you can get that the degree prepares you decently well for even at the undergrad level. The problem is there are 10 applicants for every one of those jobs, so they come with long hours and subsistence wages. It is objectively a "dumb" thing to do to bank that you'll be one of the minority who gets a job and you'll survive the grind long enough to make a decent living.

So there can be systemic issues where we make it way too easy for people who don't really care about politics, or gender, or contemporary French literature, to get a degree in that which is by almost all definitions a worthless piece of paper. And there can also be lack of personal responsibility on the part of that person when they've graduated a decade prior, have never gotten a job relevant to their degree, and think their debt should be forgiven because it's hard to pay it back.
