The 40k h100s have ballpark comparable transistor counts to their 1k gaming gpus. I didn't see concerns with production. The gains came from the massive margin increase.

They never needed to massively increase production from tsmc. They just needed to go from 5% to 75% margin on the cards they sell which is exactly what they did.

I have friends who are immigrants and have heard them recommending Amazon to each other for warehouse work; apparently Amazon is very flexible if your schedule has to change.

Amazon is a huge player in e-commerce, but there are a lot of employers of warehouse workers and Amazon isn't close to having labor pricing power from what I can see. It's true I am located in a large city and they might have more wage-setting power in smaller cities.
Not insider trading from SEC. You can absolutely use material non-public information your own company collects. The entire short selling industry is based on this.

It might be a violation of your company’s policy, but unless your company has been given explicit access to material non-public info of nvidia (e.g. you work for their accounting firm), there is no SEC risk here.

Also decriminalization doesn't solve the fentanyl problem. That would require regulating drugs and selling them legally.
Letting people have full agency in their choices - sure. But not the big government part.
I just published our approach to pseudo anonymization and sort of anonymization.

We'd built a tool which can traverse data extract the pii data and put back a token into the data. Before one of our allowed systems would read the data we'd swap in the actual data or an anonymized version if we didn't permission to use it anymore. So we sort of get the best of both worlds we can use the actual data of our customers because we require it, but can safely use data for analytics and retain a lot of the statistical variance of our data.

Crazy complex project to work on given our limited resources but very fulfilling in the end.

It should be mentioned that I don't mention the difference between anonymization and pseudo anonymization in the article mostly because I didn't know it was really a thing. I just implemented a solution given or requirements

Can you point to some precedent where building a public road to a public park across unimproved land was not a valid use of the takings clause?

The precedent is that eminent domain is remarkably unrestricted as to what constitutes 'public use' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._City_of_New_London). Condemning occupied and habitable homes to build a shopping center is an allowed use per precedent at the federal level (additional restrictions apply in many states). Eminent domain for building a road is basically a given if that is the method that is chosen.
This happened once the US broadcasters were no longer required to treat news as a civic responsibility.
I'd like to hope that increasing surveillance in car infrastructure would have this side-effect.
> Consequently, you get people who bought drugs completely unrelated to fentanyl still overdosing from it (currently a problem in Austin, for example).

> You don't want random kids doing marijuana dying from fentanyl.

Nobody is dying from fentanyl laced marijuana.

However, people are dying due to buying and eating pills that contain fentanyl when they think they’re buying xanax or oxycontin. None of the fentanyl is accidentally in these pills. The manufacturer knows about the fentanyl, but the customer might not be aware.

People have died from doing cocaine that had allegedly unknown fentanyl in it, as this news story details the deaths of three people who claimed to have done cocaine with unknown fentanyl in it: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-09-05/three-de...

(Excuse me if this is obvious, I have limited time, but this article grabbed my attention; Fascinating).

How do you handle writes? It seems like an interrupted write process could corrupt a section of text, which could be difficult to recover from.

Given the example at "breckyunits.com", I don't see hashing information associated with each item.

Are you depending on git to prevent such errors from corrupting individual items? If so, then I would be concerned about gits propensity for data corruption [1, 2, 3, 4].

I wonder if adding some ZFS-like hashing and integrity checks would be helpful. Then, as it's one big file, it seems to act like a TAR archive [5], where you append to the end, but have to scan through the previous content to find what you want. If that's the case, then it may be viable to do copy-on-write [6], where information is never modified, but instead referenced with a key, and later modifications supersede older versions.

(Again apologies if this is redundant, I just had the thought and had to get it down. XD)

The spirit of the policy as understood by most is that employers pay most of the cost of healthcare for their employees, middle class or not. So it comes as a surprise to learn that Medicaid, a program meant for children, the disabled and unemployed, is covering the benefit for employees at taxpayer expense. Amazon can’t have it both ways: lower corporate taxes based on the assumption that they directly provide health care, and the benefit of offloading the health care burden to the state. Can you see why people are concerned about this?

> If you provide all resources to people to enjoy opiates - they will have no incentive to quit.

Many people, including myself, quit smoking normal cigarettes although it was highly addictive, because it was bad for health, not because of legality or cost. Of course opiates are a very different beast, but the point is that if someone wants to get drugs they will succeed, period. Expecting them to disappear just because they are made illegal is 100% fantasy. Legalizing drugs would move their production and sale in the open and more regulated markets, with less risks of them being made by improvised chemists in their basement, plus lower costs and much less involvement by organized crime which once prices drop would move to more lucrative businesses. remember what happened in the US when alcohol was banned: people searching for drinks would still find where to buy them, but it was organized crime that started making profits out of the ban.
I agree that extreme inequality is generally bad and the value of labor should be higher than the value of capital. But market forces are really important for the functioning of the economy and the welfare of everybody, including low-skilled workers. Regulations like this would distort market forces. A much better solution is progressive taxation. Capital gains and dividends should be taxed much higher, with the benefits predominantly going to workers.

Use social media direct messages to establish a connection on a secure messenger designed for direct messaging, and for nothing else. When people try to initiate conversations with you in DMs, have a ready answer to pivot the conversation elsewhere.

Social platforms like BlueSky have radically different design constraints than direct messaging applications. The implications range from security to social dynamics to legal concerns.

Social DMs are bad. Try not to use them!

You just described RAG: augmenting an LLM with external memory. Perhaps the part you are skipping is that the LLM synthesizes the retrieved information with its own knowledge into one coherent whole.

It's abstractive- (new) versus extractive (old) summarization.

What makes it useful is that it does the work of synthesizing the information. Imagine you ask a question that involves bits and pieces of numerous articles. In the past you had to read them all and mentally synthesize them.

People seeking illegal drugs ( Fentanyl ) stems from the fact that the government went after pill mills and illegal prescriptions, so people started seeking these elsewhere.

I would rather people do Heroin than fentanyl which is 10X worse and a small dose can kill.

The problem is that regular pills from the street like oxycodone are being laced with fentanyl. Someone seeking a cheap high, but with the laced pill can end up on the deathbed.

At this point, I would rather legalize opiates than people killing themselves with these tainted pills.

The ideal scenario is that you're able to augment your existing data with more data that looks just like it. The matter of statistical significance really depends on the use-case. For load testing, it's probably not as important as it is for something like feature testin/debugging/analytical queries.

Even if you know the distribution of the data (which imo can be fairly difficult) replicating that can also be tricky. If you know that a gender column is 30-70 male - female, how do you create 30% male names? How about the female names? Are they the same name or do you repeat names? Does it matter? In some cases it does and in others it doesn't.

What we've seen is that it's really use-case specific and there are some tools that can help but there isn't a complete tool set. That's what we're trying to build over time.

Why would your employer care what you invested in? How would they be impacted if you bought or sold public stock of someone they interact with? Would they care if you traded Google, Apple, Microsoft or Oracle?

It's because it gives them an excuse to hoover up as much data about you as possible and send it home for "safety" reasons. They can sell AI compute as a service to businesses, while giving the spyware version to consumers for free.

Cool! Have you thought about incorporating LLM's into the gameplay? I'm planning to play around with this idea - since grammar-restricted sampling is becoming more widely implemented in local LLM runtimes, one could try feeding a grammar to restrict LLM output to valid game-world actions and using inference to entirely implement NPC behavior. Pair that with an interpreter and you could get really interesting NPC behavior without it going off the rails.
That's all fine and good until the hardware, which you won't control, comes with its own prepaid cellular modem that connects at will and sends that juicy data back to the mothership. Follow the consequences of your OS being effectively spyware controlled by a hostile external entity and things get dark rather quickly.

I think it's provably bullshit with a simple thought experiment - what happens when you make a site "sparse" (removing controls, more whitespace, less information density)? Things that used to take 1-2 clicks to do take many many more clicks, as menus get buried under sub-sub-sub menus now to accommodate all the space you just wasted. When I'm designing a UI for personal use, I design by how many clicks it takes me to do a common task. Any design implementation that increases that metric is a hard no to me. It's a very provable, easy metric. More clicks = less usability. Full stop. Especially when the clicks are hidden behind confusing and inconsistent icons that you usually have to guess the meaning of.
You are confusing the "productivity" of labor with the market value of the labor.
