Afghanistan offers an example of the market-based approach to kidney donation and its downsides. There are certainly Americans desperate enough for a few grand in a similar fashion.

We are using a similar stack. I assume your client is located in the same repo as your server? That's a no-go for us, so we're planning on using the OpenAPI spec to generate a type-safe frontend client. I kind of wish it was as easy as using the RPC middleware, though.
That's what the article is addressing.
A study of information theory deepens and enriches understanding of a broad variety of technical fields - from obvious applications in computer science such as data compression and encryption, to statistics and machine learning, to fundamental theories of physics.

A broadly applicable subject located at the intersection of a diverse set of technical disciplines has resulted in the use of some arguably esoteric mathematical notation which may be difficult to understand for newcomers. While a rich subject building upon different branches of mathematics does require some liberty in notation, this text develops information theoretic structures using a style of notation accessible and appropriately robust.

Familiarity with basic concepts and structures of real analysis is recommended prerequisite material; set-builder notation is frequently used for discrete cases, and integrals and derivatives for continuous.

As data compression is one of the core applications of information theory, emphasis is placed on developing definitions in a compact style. Mathematical logic symbols are frequently used; however, this is not an exercise in axiomatically describing structures in number theory or a rigorous formulation of mathematical logic. Rather, consider these foundations upon which this analysis of information theory is built.
>This is how you end up with the Rust Belt.

The Rust Belt is proof positive of Big Business operating in a unrestrained environment. NAFTA, the move to China, and its ilk are a direct consequence of federal government overriding the will of the people. If there was any actual power at the local level any imports the got shipped overseas would have been slapped with tariffs. You shouldn't get unrestrained access to the largest market in the west while also ignoring the external costs.

i've spent a considerable amount of time trying to learn mandarin. I can tell you there's far less sound diversity in mandarin. sound recognition is incredibly hard for that language for english speakers. everything sounds the same and even the four tones can be difficult to differentiate between. what makes it even harder is all the words and grammar that's left out, that the listener is forced to determine everything from context which makes it even harder if you didn't recognize a few of the words.

Why is that backward? Couldn't they be mutually affecting factors a la the failures of "No Child Left Behind"'s penalty system (as in: ACEs damage school performance, leading to risk of being held back a year, which risks additional ACEs)?

Can we find shit now?

I swear search engines are getting borderline useless. And it's not necessarily their fault, it's just very difficult to find search results these days that aren't lists of affiliate links. And in fairness, this is probably less to do with SEO'ers "gaming" the system and more to do with the fact that all of the content we actually cared about just disappeared behind walled gardens.

I abandoned Google Search a few years ago because I was tired of it trying to guess what I was "really" trying to search for instead of just matching my keywords. But DuckDuckGo seems to be getting worse in this regard lately too. I will get a bunch of results that are about something I don't care about, identify a keyword that I could easily filter out and add the "-<keyword>" modifier to my search string only to see it have no effect what-so-ever. Grrr....

I also can't believe the amount of search results that take you to a walled garden. Instagram for example. You can't lurk without an account and every single time I've tried to create an account it gets automatically suspended after a few days because their system flags it as a "fake account", whatever that means. It used to mean a bot but I can easily prove that I'm a real human being and yet when I've appealed the suspension it has stuck. So it blows my mind that they rank so highly in the search results despite doing everything they can to prevent people without accounts from even being able to create accounts, let alone browse those results.

The Web is dead.

Depends on what you're doing. Just chatting with the AI?

I'm getting about 7 tokens per sec for Mistral with the Q6_K on a bog standard Intel i5-11400 desktop with 32G of memory and no discrete GPU (the CPU has Intel UHD Graphics 730 built in). 2 year old low end CPU that goes for, what $150? these days. As far as I'm concerned that's conversational speed. Pop in some 8 core modern CPU and I'm betting you can double that, without even involving any GPU.

People way overestimate what they need in order to play around with models these days. Use llama.cpp and buy that extra $80 worth of RAM and pay about half the price of a comparable Mac all in. Bigger models? Buy more RAM, which is very cheap these days.

There's a $487 special on Newegg today with an i7-12700KF, motherboard and 32G of ram. Add another $300 worth of case, power supply, SSD and more RAM and you're under the price of a Macbook Air. There's your LLM inference machine (not for training obviously) which can run even the 70B models at home at acceptable conversational speed.
There's probably comprehensibility and fluency--which aren't necessarily the same thing. As a native English speaker, it seems natural that Romance languages are easier than German--probably because of German grammar complexity. Dutch is something of an outlier there just because it's so relatively close to English though I have no real personal experience.
I'm really impressed with volume of this work, but I cannot understand, why Ukrainian cossacks not mentioned at all (mixed with USSR), while really saved independent culture and independent mind.

To be exact, peak of cossacks was about 1655 year (yes, unions with Poland and Lithuanian), after which happen quasi-voluntary merge with Russians, and from that time nearly constantly exists Ukrainian anti-empire resistance, mostly eliminated only in mid 1950s, with build of Kakhovka dam, which just flood cossacks.
> No kidding, I couldn't get my head around the recentish riots at all - child killed; immigrant comes to others' aid; everyone starts rioting; supposedly anti-immigrant, but involves mainly attacking police and burning public infrastructure...

Great example, that was a really embarrassing moment for me to see.

The riots were just a reason for the scum to act out and do whatever they wanted, under the guise of something reasonable. Gaslighting on a physical scale.

Really good example of how the country overall has changed for the worse.

I don't really share anything I make/do on the internet but I've found posting my photography on a personal site feels pretty good even if I don't expect anyone to ever see it there. Recently I made a /now page and even started blogging infrequently - again, there are likely 0 viewers, but there's some pride in knowing I've staked out a corner of the internet for myself.

Thanks, this article is incredibly poorly written.

The top comment (by danielvf) in the linked thread explains the whole situation much better.
I had the benefit of growing up on the during the transition period from CRT to LCD. I had a friend who got an awesome Sony Trinitron WEGA and had the opportunity to play PS1 and PS2 games on it. I struggle to see the appeal of the CRT for modern day anything. For games designed on a CRT, the allure is obvious. Games designed for CRT often looked their best on the CRT because of the subtle blending and screen pattern which the graphics were designed around. The games weren't meant to look like pixelated blocks with clearly defined edges like they do on a modern screen, and they didn't look that way on a CRT.

However modern content on modern, decent, LCD panels and especially on OLED panels, blows CRTs out of the water. The vibrancy of the colors, the overall quality of the picture, not having that CRT 'glow', readability of text is all improved in my opinion. CRTs also had a number of maintenance items, the screens attracted dust like a magnet, having to adjust vertical and horizontal alignment, color adjustments (both which often ended up out of whack for some reason).

I'm sure there are benefits, for older games I see it, but for modern games I sometimes wonder if this is people waxing poetic or being nostalgic. I'm sure there are some people who will make claims about gaining an edge in online shooters, but I'm curious how much of that is real considering other losses in the pipeline like digital to analog conversion and how low the refresh rate is compared to modern gaming panels.
I found German noun declensions a pain to learn and you basically just have to memorize the gender of each noun. Spanish grammar is simpler in comparison and the -a vs -o ending tells you the gender of most nouns.

Also, like the article mentions, English has just as many words with Latin roots as it does Germanic.
> It implements row-level WAL (Write-Ahead Log) and a non-persistent undo log. This significantly reduces IO operations for write transactions.

What is the downside of doing this? I assume there is a tradeoff?
The linked article suggests that the federal government would be a monopsony buyer in the US kidney market. My understanding is that most serious policy proposals along these lines would have the same feature. Medicare already covers care for nearly all US citizens with severe chronic kidney disease; paying for kidney donations would move some number of patients from dialysis to transplant but they wouldn’t be out of pocket.
Garbage Can Model
I've honestly found German to be easier than French, specifically in terms of listening comprehension. It can take a while to get used to word order in German, but I've found it much easier to pick out discrete words compared to French.

Maybe it's because elision is so common in French? e.g. "j’aime l’hiver". I find it hard to decouple those things quickly enough in my head. Most words in German, on the other hand, are spelled exactly as they are pronounced.

Curious if folks have had other experiences with these two languages.
You're just being obtuse. The topic is about spending resources in an attempt to achieve a goal. You can't just say "whatever we spend just makes people's lives better so it's worth it". There's a very real cost involved, and a very real effectiveness of spending that cost.

To put it to extremes as an example, if we're spending $1 per person to give them a 99% chance of living a better life, that's a much different situation than if we're spending $1 million per person to give them a 1% chance of living a better life. That million dollars per person could have otherwise funded countless other programs which may have had a better positive affect on the population. You can't just say "well others are doing better when we spend that money so it's worth it" with no other thought given.

Interesting here how it ties the knot. The first knot is already in place and they just do the bow. I don't think how most people would tie their shoes would work well for a robot (bunny around tree method[0]) but I actually tie my shoes like this[1]. This is the same way the robot ties.

So I gotta ask, was this a purely learned policy or was this taught or pushed in that direction[^]? I suspect the latter.

This model has attention, just the sequence in broken into chunks of length 4096 and the attention is only applied for the chunk. Llama 2 was trained on chunks of length 4096 so this model has the same quadratic complexity for any sequence which fits within llama 2 context size.
Actually, it's exactly like that! Most games with movement as a physical body, either with or without breast/hip make me car-sick, but this game is mostly taxing mentally because of all of the input. The only game that doesn't affect me, at all and which I can play for many hours is Contractors Showdown.
Funny comparison, since that's exactly how English itself sounds to speakers of German, French, or Slavic languages. English has almost no grammar, words do not change their forms, endings, almost everything is coded by word order, and sometimes by extra "operator" words.

AOC represents one district in Queens, not Manhattan or the entire city of New York. Her constituents do not benefit from Amazon relocating to Manhattan's West Side. Hudson Yards, where Amazon has rented space, received $6 billion in tax incentives, double the HQ2 package.

Further, most of the incentive programs that comprised Amazon's HQ2 package were pre-existing programs available to anyone, led by $1.2 billion from Excelsior Jobs, $897 million from REAP, both of which are still active programs open to any company meeting their requirements.

German has complicated morphology and an unfamiliar word order, and, unlike in Romance languages, abstract nouns usually do not have cognates.

Genealogically closer languages are not always easier to learn. I don't think anyone would say that, for example, Icelandic should be easier for an English speaker than is Spanish or French.

Yup, tried sideberry, tree style tabs, and simple tab groups since I think there was a Mozilla page they suggested those three. None of them felt as usable as native tab groups in any of the other browsers that support tab groups (or workspaces, profiles, or whatever else their approximate implementation is). Especially in terms of interactions with other tab-related extensions. Part of the problem with having that be a non-native feature.
Look at Grafana Loki. They have single binary which serves many different roles. You can launch it with different flags for scalable setup, so each instance would serve a different role. Yet you can just launch one instance and it'll do it all by default. I'm using it with this approach and it works just fine for my log volume. And I have the way to scale if I would hit limits. May be it's not elegant to have multiple services in the one binary, but disk space is cheap and code does not take much amount.

If you show up and find out you're overbooked you get a credit for another show (maybe even at some multiplier?). Basic Supply/Demand suggests that reducing the price means more demand, ie: more people going to go see shows, but would need to see it in practice to know for sure.
I agree with you that like the post I responded to that my response is too simplified. I also agree with the post I first responded to that we are, physically or mentally and emotionally, in at least some regards never in the same exact state twice.

To clarify my comment, I was attenuating to the causal progression of identity and referencing the physical dimension of that as it is less likely to dissolve into wasteful argument. Once we exist past a day boundary we don't get to be us today without an us yesterday. I admit that the lines of existence and self can be plausibly taken as very fuzzy and I don't want to debate any of that minutiae.

My point is that we are the intersection of what we are across all the domains of our being to whatever extent we exist at the times that we do. Confusing ourselves about what we mean by a person doesn't help.
is listening to people talk about it on the radio the 'discussion' we need to make progress on an issue like this?

> One of the classic unintended consequences of social welfare is making someone at the bottom unwilling to work. We saw this during the pandemic when people in formerly low-wage jobs got a lot of cash assistance and stopped being interested in low-wage jobs. (Remember all the "help wanted" signs and early closing hours at local restaurants?)

I remember this, the cash assistance gave people back their time to focus on starting their own businesses, pursuing self-education, taking care of their kids, etc. It was fully apparent to me that these low-wage jobs effectively trapped people by sucking up all the time they had for self-improvement.
