If you're a highly skilled worker, Japan is one of the easiest countries to immigrate to. Far, far easier (and cheaper) than immigrating to America. For unskilled workers, not so much, but it is easier for them to come work here than 10 years ago.
The use of the word “head” in machine learning does not seem consistent, in case anyone else is confused by that.

There’s multihead attention and multiple output heads as a concept in the paper.

Multihead attention is about focusing on different areas of the input in transformer architectures, and the biological analogy here is head as a central processing unit.

An output head refers to the final layer of a neural network, of which you could have more than one producing different outputs based on the same previous layers. This is also a loose biological analogy, but instead of head as cpu, think more along the lines of head being on one end of the body.

In neither case is there any analogy to a tape head that reads data.
To give some perspective, I owned a condo for ~11 years in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada. I sold it a few years ago for ~double what I originally paid for it. The new home I live in has gone up so much in value in just 3-4 years, I could now sell my current home, buy back the condo I sold a few years ago and then buy a second home at the original price of the one I'm in now. In my eyes this is beyond unreasonable and is blatantly unsustainable, but that's just my opinion of course.
It's not a technology problem, or at least only partially a technology problem.

As OrigamiPastrami notes there are real accidental deaths in specific freezers.

That said most freezers by law have an internal quick release that should work even if there's a padlock through the secure holes on the outside latch.

It's probable he has barricaded the door with something heavy and told the people inside that the first one out the door will be shot dead.

Quora suggested jamming the extraction fans to stop the freezer working and potentially triggering a service alarm should the quick release not work:

I like this. You can also use triggers from other tables to trigger cross-table updates. SQLite is a gem.
I agree with almost all you said except that Twitter is better than top conferences, and I take a contrarian view that reviewers slow down AGI with requests for additional experiments. Without going into specifics, which you can probably guess based on your background, too many ideas that work well, even optimally, at small scale fail horribly at large scale. Other ideas that work at super specialized settings don’t transfer or don’t generalize. The saving of two or three dimensions for exact symmetry operations is super important when you deal with handful of dimensions and is often irrelevant or slowing down training a lot when you already deal with tens of thousands of dimensions. Correlations in huge multimodal datasets are way more complicated than most humans can grasp and we will not get to AGI before we can have a large enough group of people dealing with such data routinely. It is very likely detrimental for our progress to AGI that we lack abundant hardware for academics and hobbyists to contribute frontier experiments, however we don’t do anybody a favor by increasing the entropy of the publications in the huge ML conferences. This particular work listed in HN stands out despite lack of scaling and will probably make it in a top conference (perhaps with some additional background citations) but not everything that is merely novel should simply make it to ICLR or neurIPS or ICML, otherwise we could have a million papers in each in a few years from today and nobody would be the wiser.
Okay, I'm interested. I'm not convinced Gemini won't suffer the same fate as everything else if it really catches on, but I am interested and it might be a lot of fun while it lasts.

My initial thoughts are that it seems just as vulnerable to the problem of bots. Popular search engines and aggregators could suffer the same issues as their new web counterparts (even leading to SEO for Geminispace), it still needs certificates, and it's a little concerning that the spec isn't finalized yet, and the whole thing is in the hands of a single person (Solderpunk, I didn't see a real name) who could sell out if Greed gets to him, but overall I like the idea of it.
I’d argue that clogging a toilet with any kind of regularity is still a failure of either engineering or diet.
Well there's quite a big jump in complexity moving to python or whatever.

It's complex to even decide what to jump to, then there's setting up the environment, learning text editing and syntax, usually much more complex (and completely unfamiliar) graphics libraries, etc. And then they can't share projects so easily and aim to be curated, etc.

I like lua and love2d as the next step, as it's much simpler and cleaner than kitchen-sink Python (don't get me started on significant-whitespace), but it's still a big jump from Scratch. I wish there was a Thonny for lua though.

> A web browser and javascript is fine too.

There seem to be many online environments where you can type your {html, css, javascript} code and run it. For example, MDN has one at

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/play

(Unfortunately it has advertisements... which I suppose is incentive to learn how to use custom stylesheets.)

I wish there were an offline environment like that built into firefox. You can bring up a javascript console, but it's not really a friendly development environment. And something like visual studio code is capable but large and complicated.

Unfortunately for javascript in browsers, the browser DOM is complicated and unwieldy. It's hard for beginners to figure out the right subset/features of (html, css, javascript, DOM) that they could use to create simple apps and games.
Thank you, downvoters, for freeing me from ever taking votes here seriously. Downvote a man for being right? About an on topic technical matter? In a technical forum?

This is a practical example of bootstrapping a minimal machine into an interpreter for a high level language. As I remember it being taught to me the importance of being able to do this — with a Turing machine, lambda calculus, etc. — is to show that the high level language is equivalent to the fundamental language and therefore whatever can be reasoned about the former can be applied to the latter.

The first and only example I can think of is the halting problem. On a practical scale one might prove that the base language doesn’t have memory leaks, so neither can the derived language? What are the advantages of bootstrapping like this? If the answer is simply another form of “because it’s there” (Mallory, re climbing Everest) then I respect that!

No, the vertical resolution was fixed and imposed by the TV standard: 525 lines for NTSC, 625 lines for PAL and SECAM, interlaced of course. All the analog video recording systems like LaserDisc, VHS or Beta have exactly the same vertical resolution.

What changes from system to system is the horizontal resolution, but as they are analog and use composite encoding, it is difficult to give an exact number.

ECMO is also a cause of death, when the patient's lung problems are worsened by hyperoxia [0].

[0] "Supplementary oxygen administration is widely used in emergency and intensive care medicine and can be life-saving in critical conditions, but too much can be harmful and affects a variety of pathophysiological processes. Reactive oxygen species are known problematic by-products of hyperoxia which have an important role in cell signaling pathways. There are a wide range of effects, but when the homeostatic balance is disturbed, reactive oxygen species tend to cause a cycle of tissue injury, with inflammation, cell damage, and cell death.[2]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperoxia

The Boeing whistleblower just got finished off with ECMO, according to the recent submission [1]. I think the progression of his illness must have been "poor oxygen saturation treated with O2" -> intubation -> ECMO -> death.

> Is this yet another one of those scientific facts that does not require a proof?

Quantum mechanics is full of unintuitive, amazing effects, that get hyped by non-experts into imagined meanings. The latter isn't science.

But the actual quantum field equations themselves are as hard science as it gets.

> I'm sorry to be such a party pooper, but when religious or mystical people make epistemically unsound claims, the knives almost always come out for them, a little in the opposite direction shouldn't hurt too much. And besides: "science" claims to welcome criticism, much like religious people claim to follow their scriptures. But then, who doesn't like to have their cake and eat it too?

> "science" claims to welcome criticism

Science welcomes well thought out analytical or experimental challenges. Not criticism without merit, contrariness based in ignorance of the subject, ideological attacks, or simple negativity - all those just waste time.

Think informed critique, not just any "criticism".

> much like religious people claim to follow their scriptures.

Science only works to provide the best, incomplete, but most useful model we have of the truth, at any given time, backed up by independent evidence and math. It is subject to new evidence, a deliberate awareness and focus on current limitations - which is where scientists spend most of their time - with the expectation that today's best understanding will be eclipsed.

In stark contrast, Scriptures claim to be the stable truth without need for justification. Scriptures often frame "doubt" as undesirable, and their authority as above evidence. Unbelievers are often cast as morally compromised. Religions are rarely known for encouraging the discovery and sharing of contra-evidence, or the search for alternate and better viewpoints.

Very different.

> But then, who doesn't like to have their cake and eat it too?

Not sure what the cake and eating it too is? Science for being hypocritical like religion? (Not my view, but trying to understand yours.)
Charm here is: https://charm.sh/
Is this at least partially the product of a culture of disposable goods? People would rather buy a new TV every few years than fix them. As wasteful as it seems, people seem to choose this option more and more with their purchase habits. Cars get more modular and less repairable every year. One day, if/when cheap replacements are no longer available, we might adapt. Or we might be sorry.
Visiting a node twice implies a loop, which implies two paths between your original nodes.

Let’s say we want to get from A to B, but we visit Y twice. That means there’s a segment of A~B that is Y~Y (a loop). However, since we’re talking about undirected edges, we can reverse that segment. Then both our original A~B and the A~B with Y~Y reversed are paths from A to B.

So if there’s a single path from A to B, there cannot be a Y we visit twice along that path.

(Please don’t take this as criticism; my pedantic nature got the better of me.)

Outside of Steam, not a single software distributor (including Canonical) has been able to do this. Linux succeeds in spite of everything you mentioned and none of it would particularly enable the sort of experience you're describing.
Very dependent on the jurisdiction.

From the discussion, most states that people comment on work similarly to ca.bc:

The provincial assessment authority sets a 'value for property tax purposes' that loosely tracks the actual market value. Then, the local authority (city/district/town) sets the total taxes and this is distributed pro-rata over the overall property assessed value within that authority's jurisdiction.

California seems to be an exception as near as I can tell (from a long distance and not particularly caught up in it): Prop 13 locks in the value (more or less, no idea as to if there's a COL adjustment) as of either the passing of the prop or the recent sale (hence the case that new buyers pay way more than the folks next door who bought in 1967).

The us.ca idea seems intended to solve the problem of 'house-rich/cash-poor'. The ca.bc (yes, confusing abbreviations) solution is to allow the owner of a principal residence to defer property taxes as a lien on the property, payable on sale (at a favourable interest rate).
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question, but is it really dogfooding if every meaningful thing I'm doing is within a stable VM?

In general, a VM for my work doesn't change anything. It doesn't magically keep anything backed up: I still need to commit/push regularly, and so on. If the host explodes, I'm still down, even if what I'm doing is in a VM. I could immediately reinstall an older release and get set back up, but that isn't really dogfooding for an OS. I would need to report a bug and actually get the issue resolved, which generally means running in a broken state for a while to get there.

Beyond that, I've used a VM for my day-to-day work in the past, and honestly I found it maddening. I couldn't fully utilize my computer without starving the host of resources, and there were a thousand other papercuts relating to hardware access and general instability. I try to avoid that development story these days.

As you can see, my concerns here have nothing to do with losing code or data. They relate to lost productivity and not satisfying my primary duties.
This implies it works piecewise. That’s also true of neural nets lol. You have to keep adding more neurons to get the granularity of whatever your discontinuities are.

I'm not persuaded this is a better idea than, say, Racket's ability to configure the reader layer [1]. This lets you create, for example, an embedded Datalog implementation [2] that uses Datalog syntax but interops with other Racket modules. (The underlying data model doesn't change.) This gives you the ability to metaprogram without being confined to S-expressions, but it does so in a high-level way.

It is very neat to see this kind of syntax bootstrapping. I think there's some value (in a researchy-sense) to being able to do that. But I'm not sure if there's something fundamentally "better" about this approach over Racket's approach.

Postscript: Lisp (and Scheme and Racket) macros typically operate on AST (typically because Lisp has reader macros and Racket has a full-bodied reader extension) but Rhombus [3] operates on a "shrubbery", which is like an AST but it defers some parsing decisions until later. This gives macros a little flexibility in extending the syntax of the language. Another interesting point in the design space!
