Useful to think of the airplane as standing still while the engine accelerates the air around it. To fly, you need the air to move over the wings quickly and in the right direction.

You can sort of trade how fast you need the air to go for how ideally the air is flowing over the wings. If you angle the wings just right against the air flow, and/or you bend them out of shape just right with flaps, you can slow down a lot while relying on the air itself to carry your plane. If you're flying against the airflow, you need to go faster.

This is usually done during take off and landing. The pilot lowers the flaps when approaching to land and flares the aircraft before touchdown, all to make the air flow efficiently into the wings, thereby allowing the aircraft to slow down without falling straight down like a stone.

That's why weather is so important for flights. Pilots need to be ready to call TOGA and go maximum thrust at a moment's notice just in case some crosswind or heat wave or something screws up the direction of the air flow just as they're about to land. Many an admiral cloudberg article has been written due to that sort of thing. You angle the plane just right, slow it down just to the edge of stalling, then some phenomenon happens and increases your stall speed past your current speed...

(I found this comment useful, thanks.)

This is why I'd like this to be an organizational setting.

When I'm working in a business setting I'm fine with operational overhead like having to rotate keys.

For personal projects I want to be able to set something up with the minimum scoped permissions possible and then leave it running.
Hello economist and thank you for your feedback,

You've made claims questioning my knowledge level and suggested that my opinions should not be disregarded, yet you haven't presented any arguments on where exctly my economic understanding is ill.

Could you please expand on those arguments?
i've been using this for several months to manage python, rust, flutter, and go projects. one of my favorite features is automatic entering of python virtualenv (without spawning a subshell) when config contains `python = {version=..., virtualenv=".venv"}`

it has been working very reliably, though offline users should be aware of default network timeout which can affect user experience when entering a mise configured path (see `MISE_FETCH_REMOTE_VERSIONS_TIMEOUT=0s`)

my biggest complaint is a philosophical one. it conceptually becomes a distribution package manager, which leads me to think of tools like (nix-based) devbox and devenv which ar more holistically designed and can manage service infrastructure as well.
> Because ISP is in business of selling internet access to consumer. ISP can sell different tiers of service to the consumer, but can't sell the product twice. Netflix pays huge sum in their end.

The network is not some amorphous blob.

If a new streaming company called Notflix enters the market (with dedicated hardware), ISPs will have to build dedicated infrastructure that connects that competitor to the network. One of the obvious ways of gaining a foothold in the market is to go where other services have poor connectivity and setup shop there. Of course the ISP that sets up that infrastructure will take big cut for their work, as they should.

With Net Neutrality in effect, the supply side of heavy use internet services becomes constrained, creating a barrier of entry for new competitors. It’s just plain old regulatory capture.
struck a little too close to home, eh?
The US had a "first to invent" method of resolving priority for patents, until the 90's when it adopted the "first to file" method used in most of the world.

The "lab notebook" like Hoerni used was crucial to establishing that you really did invent it before someone else, even though you didn't file for a patent yet. This was tested in an "interference" proceeding. Naturally, bureaucratic procedures are the closest thing to eternal life that we have on Earth, and they still exist:

https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s2301.html

Given the infrequency, cost, and complexity of interferences and derivation proceedings, it is important for the examiner to consult immediately with an Interference Practice Specialist (IPS) in the examiner’s Technology Center, see MPEP § 2302, once a possible interference is identified.

"Infrequency" -- they got that right. The vast majority of patent practitioners have probably never done one.
UPSs typically operate in passthrough mode unless a deviation in supply occurs - so no efficiency loss day to day - and no, I don’t chain UPSs, but as I said, the house batteries are essentially big damn UPSs.

Also, not particularly caring about efficiency currently as we always have more energy than we can use, and I’m currently looking at filling a shipping container with sand as a dump.

> Seems like we still have a long way to go after Adam...

A preprint in arxiv suggests that Adam works better than SGD for training LLMs due to the issue of class-imbalance [0]. It appears that scaling the gradient step helps with the training, for example, see another approach suggested in [1].

The PySheets server runs anywhere, for example: my laptop, Google AppEngine, and DigitalOcean. I designed it with on-prem in mind, so that PySheets could be deployed at companies that do not want to share data with external services.

That said, only the data stored in the sheet itself is stored in PySheets. Most use cases will load data from another place, filter and convert it, and then render a result. Still, self-hosting would be an interesting use case.
I think it's a bit much to generalize this. I imagine it's different for each person and there's nuances.

But with respect to working, I like to have an office with a door. The reason is I can mute slack and notifications and close the door when I'm in deep thought. The thing is that a physical door tends to do a good job at making people think more before interrupting. But doors are increasingly uncommon. WFH also is an alternative. I do like being in the office more but I'd rather WFH than be an an open noisy environment where there's constantly people walking through my pereferial and will talk behind me when I have my headphones on so I don't know if they're trying to talk to me or someone else. At least at home I can turn up the music and the main interruption is my cat doing something silly which makes me laugh and isn't that distracting.

How is it not accurate? I haven’t said anything about the internal workings of an LLM — just what it able to produce (which is based on observation).

I have more than a basic understanding of the subject matter (neural networks; specifically transformers, etc.). It’s actually not a hugely technical field.

By the way, it appears that you are in category (a).

After enough hours of meditation practice it becomes quite clear that one's mind is ungovernable at best. We can just hope to hold a clear intention (meditation practice in a nutshell) and return to the task whenever internal or external interruptions arise. Perhaps more and more parts of the mind will align with the intention. Hopefully the mind gets unified over time and as a result flow states can be experienced.

The person whose comment you're replying to was probably highlighting the fact that this process is not as predictable as the parent comment alluded to.
That's not bigoted or racist. There are two forces when it comes to pricing labor:

1. The forces that dictate the lowest price.

2. The forces that dictate the highest price.

These are completely orthogonal to each other.

Lowest price is based on cost of living, you can hire the cheapest person as long as you pay them enough for them to keep on eating. That's it. Notably this lower-end is going to have a lot of variance based on location.

Highest price is based on how much value a worker creates for a business, the highest price that you can pay that worker is somewhere that leaves the business with a margin profit. Of course it is in the businesses best interest to increase the margin for themselves, but as talent becomes harder to find, fat margins become less of a necessity and more of a nice-to-have. The job needs to get done or their golden-egg machine will die.

So!

You go to the lowest price at a another country, that's what you get in quality. Execs think that people are replaceable so they believe that the average X is the same here as it is anywhere else, the only difference to them is cost.

So yeah. You are not racist for pointing out that quality suffers due to cost cutting through offshoring. The lower cost-of-living countries (such as India) still have top tier talent, but that talent is priced similarly across the world, they are smart and they price themselves according to the value they bring.

They use Falcon 9 for crewed launches, not Falcon Heavy. Using FH to put starliner capsule in orbit would be massively inefficient as you don't need that much mass to orbit capability. Plus it's not rated for human flight, so there's that. Starliner can (and might) fly on an F9.
I love how instead of being mad at example #4012 about American companies profiting from fraudulent activity, you spend effort blaming the organization punishing them.

This is a _civil_ penalty and its the largest one to date for violating a previous order and agreement about Williams-Sonoma stopping fraudulent use of "Made in USA." More severe penalties would have ultimately required the matter to be handled directly by other government entities.

In fact the DOJ themselves could have handed out harsher penalties or pursued company executives for perjury.

The FTC did what they were able to do and instead of saying "it'd be better if the FTC had more authority and discretion in what punishes to give." you just throw snark at them and not at the political party that continually has made every government institution's teeth dull :^).

TFA assumes several things which may or may not hold for a particular company or team.

For example, the Linux kernel works with its tens of millions of lines just fine, even though ownership is heavily distributed among many subsystem maintainers. Checking out a branch or pulling in changes rarely takes more than a few seconds.

On the other hand, some organizations abuse their VCS, using it as a repository for large immutable files such as build artifacts, software packages or similar non-source archives.

I'm more keen on their feed and moderation design. A feed could be seen or implemented as close to RSS
Looks like their shape is always defined by eight triangles. The page doesn't say what the genome defines about those triangles (only that there are eight vertices in the genome), but if it's just random angles and distances, it'd kind of make sense that they start as random spiky shapes.

I don't know why they stay that way. My first thought would be that it might be beneficial for the shape to be relatively low for stability, but with the shape between the wheels being concave for clearance. That doesn't quite seem to happen, except for the concave clearance to an extent.

Maybe the rest of the shape doesn't really matter for the simulation, so there's no selective pressure towards not having a spiky shape.
This is done, but it's pretty easy to game by pricing parts 'unusually'. Especially when it is a subsidary of your own company producing the parts overseas, you can decide if ECU control circuit boards are worth $1 or $1000.

And you would be able to produce paperwork and find experts who would value it at either, or anywhere in the middle. (since there is no market price for highly specialist circuit boards which can't be sold to anyone else).

> To me that screams for - develop interest in a US public sector

I disagree 100%.

(note I'm a big fan of the RISC V effort)

First, the US government can/should seed pieces of fundamental technology that the private sector may later use, but in general you really don't want the government funding direct competitors to competitive technology already in the private sector (boosting RISC V when ARM, x86 etc are widely available). On a practical level, even if you do think the USG should do such a thing it won't happen.

Look at the members of RISC V International -- they are mostly huge multinationals who could both afford and benefit from such work. In fact the author of the post works for Intel. They are they people who should be paying for it (the smaller members, like Sifive, and mostly bleeding money).

There is one hack that could work, and might even be the most feasible: get DARPA to fund the pedagogical document acuster described. That to me is similar to previous successful research-supporting projects DARPA has funded in the past, such as SPICE. But that's a special case.

And anyway, why USG? Where are China and Europe in this? The EU funding this kind of pedagogical document would be a good step towards get its chip mojo back.
At 5 bucks a customer, you need 200k new ones a year to break a million bucks.

TO break even with apple you have about 80k a year all in cost to deal with all your refunds and charge backs.... after taxes, insurance and overhead that's 40-60k take home for a CS agent.

What is the charge back rate on digital goods? Im going to tell you that if your a small player it will be WAY higher than apple. Apple will cut a consumer off if they have a high refund rate, your CS agent will have no such insight.

%5-10 of your charges will just turn into refunds. Is that a process where you're killing license keys? Oh did you forget you now have infrastructure to run to issue and maintain said key? What is that going to cost you? Dont want to run like that... well ok then expect your return rate to go even higher. That discount CC processor is going to look at your refund and charge back rate and jack your fees up sky high (because that's the name of the game).

Once you get past a million bucks the open question is "do I do enough business to negotiate with apple". IN the case of a dry business oriented app, that has enough popularity to make that much, you might see apple willing to negotiate with you much sooner than a game dev who has sneaky buy options and huge charge back rates.

It wouldn't surprise me if they started with the end goal "don't provide healthcare to poor people" and worked backwards from there to find justifications.

It would certainly explain the intentionally vague way he presents his arguments that confused Scott Alexander.

Because if he clearly stated the strong part of his argument, then it wouldn't support that goal, but the vague form does.

You want healthcare? Look here's a random bit of research in which it's not clear that the people even knew they had healthcare insurance, which proves that it won't help you.

Do we need to pin him down and for every bit of healthcare that he reluctantly admits helps people say "do you or do you not support this being provided to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay?".

i'll check out and will consider it in good faith, thanks for sharing. my knee jerk reaction:

> And also we can look at the cases where collectivism replaces capitalism and the catastrophic consequences that inevitably occur:

at a glance, that book ignores the role the US played in these country's downfalls, particularly in south and central america. why is the US so afraid of a different system that they interfere with cuba and venezuela — i thought capitalism was the greatest system and could never be beat? oh that's right, it needs to kill any dissent in order to survive. do you ever consider all of the suffering that the US inflicts on other countries in the name of freedom and capitalism, to this very day, happening right this very minute?

it's true, the USSR created a lot of suffering, but looking at the chapter intros, that book doesn't seem to consider the contribution of the authoritarian governments had in the suffering. instead it blames the economic system. nor does it cover the diversity of political opinion that led to the establishment of the USSR, most of which was quickly silenced (aka executed).

imo, the USSR's problems were much like what's happening in the developed capitalist countries right now. american capitalism is a centralized economy controlled by few people with the power of the government, just like the USSR. i'm not talking about small business here, i'm talking about corporate capitalism that controls the federal government and all of the commerce, what we eat, where we get our energy, etc. very centralized. (aside, wouldn't it be amazing if the small businesses had as much power?)

and regardless of how you define the USSR's economic system (an authoritarian government can never be socialist, as socialism is a democratic system by definition), we can agree that the USSR was not capitalism, yet it's responsible for some of the technological gains of the 20th century. capitalist dogma lead us to believe that the 20th century changes were only because of capitalism, but that's simply untrue. if capitalism is responsible for all of the technological changes, then how were the soviets able to reach space first?

lastly, neoliberal propaganda from the world economic forum isn't a good source for an argument imo. and who said that socialism is the only alternative? regardless, your sources conveniently ignore countries with democratic socialism that are thriving. (queue: "tHaT'S nOt SoCiAlIsM!!!!" arguments...)

> If you are unsure about something in the spec, there's also a multitude of RISC-V emulators out there, probably several in your favorite language already.

I've been working with risc-v assembly a fair amount and sometimes I've had to resort to looking at emulators' and even compilers' code because the documentation is so lacking. Sometimes the emulators do different things in a given scenario. Sometimes real chips do different things in the same scenario. And I suspect the discrepancy is caused by lax documentation rather than implementation failure.

It doesn't have to be that way.
