> But the integers are a subset of the rationals, which are a subset of the reals, which are a subset of the complex numbers.

It depends on definitions, and, in some sense, the point of the common approach to mathematics is not just that one does not, but that one cannot, ask such questions. One approach is to look at natural numbers set theoretically, starting with 0 = ∅; to define integers as equivalence classes of pairs of natural numbers; to define rational numbers as equivalence classes of certain pairs of integers; and to define real numbers as equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers. In each of these cases there is an obvious injection which we are used to regarding as inclusion, but most of mathematics is set up to make it meaningless even to ask whether the natural number 1 is the same as the integer 1 is the same as ….

That is to say, if you're working on an application where encoding details are important, then you can and will ask such questions; but if I am writing a paper about natural numbers, I do not have to worry about the fact that, for some choice of encoding, the number 2 = {∅, {∅}} is the same as the ordered pair (0, 0) = {0, {0, 0}} = {∅, {∅}}, and in fact it is meaningless to test whether 2 "equals" (0, 0). The philosophy of studiously avoiding such meaningless questions leads some to avoid even testing for equality, as opposed to isomorphism; failing to do so used to be referred to in category-theoretic circles as "evil", although, as the nLab points out if you try to go to https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/evil , it seems common nowadays to avoid such language.

No, it's just a widely accepted term for descendents of the people who inhabited the Americas before European colonization. Their (long ago) ancestors are also our long ago ancestors in Africa.

The reason "indigenous" is used is mainly historical, but there aren't any better modern terms. "American Indian" is largely a US term and one a lot of people don't like. "Native American" has similar issues. "First nations" is mainly used by Canadians and doesn't encompass all the groups being discussed. "Indian" works, but "indigenous" has a lot less semantic baggage.
Working unpaid overtime is often a cultural norm at certain companies. When you join a team where this is expected, you may feel pressured to follow suit. Unfortunately, such practices rarely change within a company.

Your best option is to seek a new job and assess the company culture during the interview process. Once you've passed initial screenings, don't hesitate to ask your potential manager about typical workdays, deadline crunches, and team turnover. Just as they will inquire about your reasons for leaving your current job, you can ask if you're replacing someone and why they left.

Keep in mind that you might not always get the full truth. Both candidates and companies have reasons to present themselves in the best light. Nonetheless, asking these questions can provide valuable insights and a gut feeling about the work environment. The most reliable way to gauge company culture is through trusted connections who have worked there.

For those interested in part-time development work, it’s advisable to first secure a full-time job with a reasonable boss. Prove your reliability by delivering on projects and building trust. Once you've established this, start by requesting small accommodations, such as unpaid half days on Fridays. Gradually, as your boss becomes comfortable with your work patterns, you can explore reducing your hours to part-time. Asking for significant changes early on, before trust is established, is less likely to be successful.
I think it's likely that they tried this. But DynamoDB is expensive to consume probably because it's expensive to run and maintain. If you develop for a particular use case, a lot of optimizations can reduce these costs. For a large enough business, the fixed costs of in-house are easily amortized. It'd be hard for AWS to compete.

Gotcha, so point is that people just aren't really spending their retirement savings? And simultaneously the population of money-hoarders is growing as more people enter retirement age?
You're right they're on the eastern interconnect, which is even larger and harder to reason about.

As someone who isn't super-rich but is relatively wealthy I already do this.

Taxation in my country is almost entirely focused on redistribution of wealth (mostly to cronies, occasionally to proles) whilst the actually meaningful roles of government (as opposed to anarchy) like law and order, defence, border controls etc are neglected.

There's always some pet project. Lower in the thread someone is going on about subsidising female sanitary products, a complete boondoggle. Not only is it a trivial expense, the average man eats 10-20% more food so you could just net out the costs and just not move the money.

Even having a committee research that sort of thing is a waste, but it's just all over the place.
Lots of anecdotes on cures so here is mine: had loads of warts through childhood. Received cryotherapy but they returned. In my teens got a summer job priming tobacco and within days they completely disappeared and I haven’t had another decades later.
My kid had a wart on one foot, where he got a small injury while walking barefoot at the gym pool.

Doctor recommended soaking the foot in hot water (As hot as he could bare) and using "compound w" (salicylic acid) topically for until the wart was gone and a bit after.

After about 6 weeks the wart did indeed vanish an has not returned.
I didn't mean EM himself was relevant here, I just think "no maintenance" for a device launched into the space seemed like the sort of promise he makes (specifically about how he has insisted over the years of describing his cars as 'full self driving').

TBH though I'm very much not qualified to debate about this type of technology, so I acknowledge that perhaps this could have no moving parts and if so maybe maintenance is less certain than I thought.
Are you really claiming that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is safe? I'm not going to quote the whole "toxicology" section of wikipedia on that chemical but strongly recommend you read it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluorooctanoic_acid#Toxicol...

PFOA was explicitly banned in the US in 2014, after being phased out the year before, due to it's toxicity. Teflon changed their manufacturing process so it's made with polytetrafluoroethylene instead. So yes, pans made with teflon before 2014 absolutely due contain a toxic chemical.
> Feminism kept drumming into my head that financial independence was the ideal, but in practice it doesn't happen unless you are managing a hedge fund or are able to write best-selling novels.'

Moving it from one wallet to another does virtually nothing if someone cares to look. And the exchange thing doesn't help much, because all you've done is change which third party knows more about you than they need, the merchant or the exchange.

All anyone needs to know about you when you're the buyer in an ordinary transaction is that you have the funds to make the purchase. The rest should be yours to disclose if and only if you want to.
Your premise of

> If it was purely pensioners seeking higher returns wouldn't those be getting circulated back into the economy, driving costs down?

is incorrect in my opinion. Pensioners increase demand for labor, and without a commensure increase in supply of labor (or automation), the prices increase.

They are going to spend their money on expensive healthcare, and maybe vacations. And without sufficient automation or labor, society has to take productivity from other sectors and redirect it to healthcare or other things old people buy.
> If I have to write 1 + 2 * 5 - 3

That's a great example of an expression that can be ambiguous, but not with prefix/suffix notation.

Most people that write lisp-like code use an editor that helps with s-exp editing (like paredit), so that isn't really a significant issue. In fact, I think it is faster to write s-exp code than algol-likes once you've become accustomed.

I agree that formatting is very important w/ parens langs, but there are many languages that consider formatting a high concern.

I would also argue that reading code is harder than writing it. Optimizations that speed up writing code is less interesting to me than ones the help reading/understanding/making assertions easier about code.

Finally, infix notation is available in lisp/scheme, it's just a macro away (but seriously, don't).

This feedback is one point of view on why documents like these read as insincere.

You guys raised $7.3b. You are talking about abstract stuff you actually have little control over, but if you wanted to make secure software, you could do it.

For a mere $100m of your budget, you could fix every security bug in the open source software you use, and giving it away completely for free. OpenAI gives away software for free all the time, it gets massively adopted, it's a perfectly fine playbook. You could even pay people to adopt. You could spend a fraction of your budget fixing the software you use, and then it seems justified, well I should listen to Anthropic's abstract opinions about so-and-so future risks.

Your gut reaction is, "that's not what this document is about." Man, it is what your document is about! (1) "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" (2) Every piece of corporate communications you write is as much about what it doesn't say as it is about what it does. Basic communications. Why are you talking about abstract risks?

I don't know. It boggles the mind how large the budget is. ML companies seem to be organizing into R&D, Product and "Humanities" divisions, and the humanities divisions seem all over the place. You already agree with me, everything you say in your RSP is true, there's just no incentive for the people working at a weird Amazon balance sheet call option called Anthropic to develop operating systems or fix open source projects. You guys have long histories with deep visibility into giant corporate boondoggles like Fuschia or whatever. I use Claude: do you want to be a #2 to OpenAI or do you want to do something different?

> Electron-phonon coupling is lying at the heart of many condensed matter phenomena. The van der Waals stacking of two-dimensional materials and the twisting-angle-controlled Moire superlattice offer new opportunities for studying and engineering interlayer electron-phonon coupling. I will present our infrared spectroscopy study of several graphene-based Moire superlattices, showing strong features of interlayer electron-phonon coupling. This coupling can be further tuned through controlling the Moire wavelength and gate electric fields.

Is this potentially relevant to solving for ancient Geopolymer methods with electricity and possibly acoustic notes and/or chords?

Anyways, the original exercise:

"A scattering-type scanning nearfield optical microscope probes materials at the nanoscale" (2021)
https://phys.org/news/2021-07-scattering-type-scanning-nearf... :

> The new tool is based on atomic force microscopy (AFM), in which an extremely sharp metallic tip with a radius of only 20 nanometers, or billionths of a meter, is scanned across the surface of a material. AFM creates a map of the physical features, or topography, of a surface, of such high resolution that it can identify "mountains" or "valleys" less than a nanometer in height or depth.

> Ju is adding light to the equation. Focusing an infrared laser on the AFM tip turns that tip into an antenna "just like the antenna on a television that's used to receive signals," he says. And that, in turn, greatly enhances interactions between the light and the material beneath the tip. The back-scattered light collected from those interactions can be analyzed to reveal much more about the surface than would be possible with a conventional AFM.

I am approaching 50 and never had kids. A decade ago, I lost my entire life savings to a gold digging fraud, and I ended up deep into debt for the first time in my life just to save my farmstead.

I am still climbing out of that hole. I had to restart my retirement plans from scratch, but I still have almost nothing saved. That should start to change in another couple of years, but it will be too little and too late to make much of a dent. I may yet lose my farm.

A few years ago, I married a younger woman, and we have talked about having kids. While that's something that I have wanted for decades, the costs of having and raising children are now so significant that I would be unable to save anything for retirement. This article only seems to confirm that assessment.

Being in tech, I expect to be pushed out of the workforce well before retirement age, before my hypothetical kids even would be ready to go off to college. Of course, I would be unable to afford to save anything to help pay for their school either, putting them at a relative disadvantage.

I don't want to disappoint my wife, but I don't believe that we can afford to have even one kid. This has been one of the most painful realizations in my adult life, and it has made me incredibly bitter and resentful.

I think that assumes the market can react quickly enough that everything works like some magically balancing algorithm. In practice that isn’t the case. For example if there is room for more supply of caretakers, potential caretakers need to know the demand exists, they need to be willing to relocate to those areas (which has a cost but also is a personal decision in many other ways), they need to find a good location, they need to go through permitting processes to open businesses, etc. I feel like the signals are less visible than supply and demand for housing, and the barriers are more complicated than me making a rental decision. But this is just my speculation, not a scientific take.

Another aspect to consider is that both rents and business costs are changing in other ways in the background. Like for example many cities on the west coast have minimum wage laws that have been enacted in recent times, which changes the patterns of childcare costs relative to rental costs.

True, but often the project that was supposed to build something users care about turns to dust. On one side, you have rosy projections. On the other, a cap on gains, so sure everyone picks the first, but nobody measures if it worked.

One can build a great career working only on key, promising initiatives that never amount to any value in the end. By the time it's clear the project lost money outright, you are on to something else.

Yeah, for sure, I agree with all that. In this case, openai says they got a voice actor though so I'm not sure if IP applies here. Because of the movie SJ was in, I could honestly see a lawsuit going either way I guess

I, as a 8 year old kid witnessed a tiny bit of vinegar pickle used by a"barber " for warts.Egyptian "barber surgeon" in early 1900s used to be one who perform medical and grooming services from treating warts to bloodletting, tooth extraction, and minor surgeries, in addition to providing haircuts, shaves. One of those barbers blinded Taha Hussien, one of 'the most influential 20th-century Egyptian writers and intellectuals, and a leading figure of the Arab Renaissance and the modernist movement in the Arab world. ' He contracted ophthalmia at the age of two, and as the result of false treatment by an unskilled practitioner, he became blind' 'In 1950, he was appointed Minister of Education, in which capacity he led a call for free education and the right of everyone to be educated'-held the position of chief editor of a number of newspapers. ' I have read many of his novels and never imagined he was blind at the time, it was not an issue or perhaps never brought up.
I claim no expertise and only have anecdotal experience, but Bleomycin was effective for me when treating plantar warts. It's an off-label treatment but FYI in case you'd like to investigate for another possible arrow in your proverbial quiver.

Just to be clear: this treatment was administered by a dermatologist.
The efficacy of IQ tests are a separate argument and the general abandonment of IQ tests by corporations as a demonstration of their inefficacy would be more substantive if such tests were not in effect made illegal at the same time. I.e. if IQ testing conferred no possible legal liability then the spontaneous abandonment of their use might be evidence of their ineffectiveness.
Seems like a failure to properly attribute productivity back up the labor chain though? If 1 of the 4 infants cared for becomes a high-productivity software developer, shouldn't the labor productivity number of the teacher partially reflect that? Basically "number of cared for children" seems like a bad metric to score a childcare provider on, rather something like "net social contributions of all children cared for" seems like a more precise metric.

No. They absolutely are!

This is the issue. No one wants to retire on $1500/mo in 2055. If you want to retire on $6000/mo in 2055 this means you will need very outsized returns.

And there will be more retired people demanding $6000/mo in 2055 than there are retired people today demanding $1500/mo.

The moon has trillions of dollars in water, helium, and metals (rare earth, titanium, etc). It's an f'ing goldmine and controlling said resource will be something hostile authoritarian regimes (China) would seek out. There's simply no excuse that the US should be this bad at making a system to reach the moon. The Chinese have committed insane sins and dropped massive amounts of space hardware on the earth (luckily it landed in the ocean). We should be dunking on them but instead we've got this buffoonery?
