> Live has a _huge_ advantage in the storage side. In a purely "live" sense all of the content is temporally synchronised; every viewer is requesting approximately the same segments at the same time.

Used to work at a live-streaming company on our stream infra.

I mostly disagree, unless it's pure live no replay at all and no closely timed events required. Usually live platforms will offer some sort of a VOD (VODs, Replays, Rebroadcasts), all of which will require a storage solution. Couple that in with the fact that anything requiring more complex timing than "show video live~ish" can get messy fast with sync and latency issues.
Yes! Animal Well is great, it probably most reminds me of Fez.
Reading this paper made me cringe so hard... You can't just frame it like it's sun exposure that leads to low mortality.

Or that sentence: "Lack of sun exposure is just as bad as smoking."

Do you even hear yourself? Have you taken a statistics course before? How did this even get published?

There are 99999999 other reasons that contributed to mortality. Sun exposure is definitely not one of them.

Exercise and nutrition are the leading factors, period. Who funded this shit
This is what I don't understand when it comes to identify theft. Why is it the customers problem and not the companies?
It really does seem relatively easy to raise money in nuclear power for making a few dubious claims about factory production, reactor performance, and delivery timeline.

In the industry, we call the 10 years it takes to realize that it's a lot harder than newcomers initially think, and that the people who tried in the past didn't fail merely because they were idiots who didn't think about economics: "getting run over by the nuclear bus".

After 15 years professionally in the industry, I'm just amazed that Rickover wrote his paper reactor memo back in 1953! https://whatisnuclear.com/rickover.html
Our consistent position has been that testing and evaluations would best govern actual risks. No measured risk: no restrictions. The White House Executive Order put the models of concern at those which have 10^26 FLOPs of training compute. There are no open weights models at this threshold to consider. We support open weights models as we've outlined here: https://www.anthropic.com/news/third-party-testing . We also talk specifically about how to avoid regulatory capture and to have open, third-party evaluators. One thing that we've been advocating for, in particular, is the National Research Cloud and the US has one such effort in National AI Research Resource that needs more investment and fair, open accessibility so that all of society has inputs into the discussion.
This is a very bad. Like really bad.
> At the end of his life, Steve Wozniak won't measure his happiness by the size of Apple's market cap or his personal net worth.

This is a very popular stance to take for every millionare out there.

Also, the absence of daily worries, the lack of problems induced by money, and the presence of an everlasting feeling of security can lead to a detachment from the concept of wealth. What I mean is, if you don’t experience the problems that money can easily solve—and there are many of them—and you possess a great deal of money, then you might not feel that money solves anything, simply because you haven’t encountered such problems in a long time. This could create the impression that money has no value, but it actually indicates that we’re detached from reality, not that we’ve achieved any form of moral enlightenment.
I would ascribe it to the paradigm shift – C++ was the executor, but the advent of the object-oriented programming was the instigator.

By the time Modula-2 appeared in the mainstream, «C with classes» (later C++) had already been begot, and it brought about a major change in the industry. Modula-2, on the other, delivered useful, but evolutionary and not revolutionary enhancements to the ageing procedural programming paradigm.

This article has some good content, but to be honest, I expected more from the title. When discussing generative art, generative music and sound art should also be considered. I've done some research on generative music while developing Glicol.

Simple randomness can create some "embellishments":

It's not too big a stretch of imagination to consider producing oxygen on the Moon from rocks and sending it to LEO for refueling Starships - this activity might get useful enough if we're going to use Starships to fly someplace more distant than the low Earth orbit. And Moon-originated oxygen has an energy advantage over the Earth-originated one.
It’s definitely a luxury that not all of us can afford. Happy Monday.
The question shouldn't be "why" because the answer is obvious: Companies have more money and more people and more time and therefore more power than you as an individual. The solution also already exists: The government should be giving individuals free lawyers to go after companies who violate their rights. We have this system in my country where there is a people's lawyer that can choose to take up cases that seem deserving. Then we also have certain government sponsored union-like associations whose job it is to sue companies who commit wage theft and they are good at it.
After all when some random person steals from you, you generally also don't have to sue them and hope a court decides in your favor. That is all the job of the government (=police). Private individuals should not have to waste their time in the legal system to defend laws that the government created.

Yes but you could do something equivalent with a binary you download or some remote repository like a brew keg too. At the end of the day you need to decide whether you trust who you’re downloading from or not and ‘curl … | sh’ isn’t practically worse in any way I can think of.

I'm not entirely sure I buy this argument. There are vast swathes of the world today where drinking tap water will likely make you sick, and in all these countries it is standard procedure to boil tap water before drinking it. In fact, in eg China & Indonesia, cold water (even if clean) is believed to be bad for you and drinking still warm boiled water or weak tea instead is very common. Was medieval England really an exception?

I wonder if it would have been possible for C to have been less pointer heavy without killing performance on those old systems.

Could we have done without pointer arithmetic? Could we have hidden the pointer part of function pointers and made them syntactically just like Python or JS functions?

Did arrays as raw blocks of memory ever need to exist?

I remember when I first learned C, I didn't really see the problem, I thought it was a perfectly fine language, until I learned Python/JS/C++/Dart and saw how nice high level features and package management is.

But now I wonder how I ever used it at all without complaining!

I hear that but what I am saying is that the cohorts whose longevity is being measured (ie, people dying now who were born in ~1950) grew up in an utterly different world and did not spend their adolescence indoors avoiding the sun, they were mostly rural, agricultural, poor, and outdoors.

We have no idea what the longevity of the current ~30yo urban east asian will be, but the lifestyle is so radically different than their grandparents that I don't think there's any value in connecting the two.

I'm strongly disagreeing with some qualifications there, to the point it's hard to find where to start.

E.g. what this passage mean -

"...this single-use lander carries less payload (both up and down) than the tiny Lunar Module on Apollo 17."

? Can't Starship HLS lift more than 50 kg of rocks from the Moon?.. I'm intentionally simplifying the question.

Uh, no? In fact humans do not currently have a way of causing human extinction (nukes wouldn't do it with current stockpiles). That would require scientific advancements which we have yet to make, and most possible routes seem pretty non-trivial... except, unfortunately, AI.

The Evolution of the Operating System [video]
I guess it all depends on the distribution/business model of fact checking. News magazines and classical broadcasting can actually decide what to publish. Other might call it censorship if non-verifiable stuff does not happen there, but that is clearly a matter of scaling and money. I agree that fact checking the internet is useless. However, that is why I heavily rely on our well financed national public broadcasting. In cases that they cannot check, I at least get mostly a disclaimer like 'war party is source of information'.

>While conspiracy theorists believe this to be the case, and they are people, they're a slightly-vocal minority, and thus it'd be disingenuous to represent what conspiracy theorists think as what "people" think, unless you clarify that you're using the term "people" to refer to 1+ persons, not any indicative majority.

Conspiracy theorists are everywhere. Just casually mention price fixing and you'll see endless speculation from just about everyone about how "they're out to get you". Mention politicians and lobbyists and they will readily speculate about who is on the take, based on stupid shit like physical traits of a person. These same people will then cry about a bunch of other conspiracy theories that don't jive with their preconceived notions.

>As you and I both said upthread: there will always be greater than zero pseudoscience conspiracy theorists who view literally anything as confirmation of the conspiracy theory.

This is true. Likewise, many "normies" regard the existence of nutty conspiracy theorists as evidence that any speculation about possible conspiracies is evidence of stupidity or even insanity.

>This is not evidence that they, or any significant amount of people, have said they can make conspiracy theories and pseudoscience go away forever. There's nothing wrong with "coming out against" disinformation.

First of all I didn't say that. Second of all, there is a lot wrong with trying to police speech, especially under the pretense of it being "disinformation". If you care about disinformation then you put out good information only, engage in debates, and so on. Basically stop treating your fellow citizens like children for merely disagreeing. Even if we want to suppress untrue information, it is extremely difficult to be 100% sure what is true, and the intellectual and popular discourse requires free expression of controversial ideas. If you don't want to have your worldview challenged, there are many ways to tune out the stuff you don't care for. The problem we have is that the authoritarians are threatened by the fact that someone out in the world disagrees with them. They can't handle that because their egos are too fragile. (Of course, some authoritarians do not care about the ideas at all. They just want power and the ideas are the tool they use to get it. We have this type in the West too.)

I disabled SIP in our CI environment because with ~5 Xcodes installed and VM images that were reset to a baseline every day or two the malware scanning often literally didn't finish before the VM was reset and it was forced to start over, and while it was running builds took 2-3 times as long.

I probably could have done something fancy where the VMs were left running a day or two before being frozen and deployed, but disabling SIP was the much simpler solution to the problem.

I would be very surprised if that works.

The component that causes the reaction is not the allergen. It's a chemical that reacts with multiple proteins in the body - it's a very reactive molecule and not at all selective.

So theoretically, subsequent exposures would create new antigens each time - molecules your immune system hasn't seen before.

One thing I learned really quickly renting in Europe is to take pictures of the rental before driving off. Last time I rented a car there was a huge scratch on the side that wasn’t included in their pickup form. When I returned the car they were ready to bill me for it until I showed the picture and their response was: “OK, no worries then, all is good”. From the reviews I’ve been reading people often get charged this way and I’m wondering how many people end up paying for the same damage.

What are egg whites linked to?

That symptom matches my reaction to egg whites but the weird thing is, it's only some forms. I can eat hardboiled eggs no problem (probably because the allergen has denatured), but not most other forms itch while baked goods are very hit or miss. The worst are meringues and macaroons.
"Stay honest, keep smiling and pay your own successes forward"

It goes beyond just stealing some money. They can ruin your credit rating by claiming you didn't pay your bills even when they are incorrect. I was wondering this same thing recently after being charged for something for an extra month after cancelling. Chasing them to get the money back was a lot of hassle but if the situation were reversed they can screw my life for years.
IMO, SSMs are an optimization. They don't represent enough of a fundamental departure from the kinds of things Transformers can _do_. So, while I like the idea of saving on the energy costs, I speculate that such saving can be obtained with other optimizations while staying with transformer blocks. Hence, the motivation to change is a bit of an uphill here. I would love to hear counter-arguments to this view. :)

Furthermore, I think a replacement will require that we _understand_ what the current crop of models are doing mechanically. Some of it was motivated in [1].

Its hard to believe a 30y fixed bond wouldn't cost a ton of money to break, depending on the point you sell it.

Imagine a 30y yielding 3% with new loans yielding 6%. That bond would be priced at half its face value in order to make up for the yield difference - and in theory the debtor would have to pay that difference to buy it back.

The only way loans like that can be cheaper is an option/insurance (which costs money) in the loan to cover that risk.
France and Germany are still at war, just not overtly but in a covert feminine way.
They very much butt head politically and economically.
And as a French I will say I wish Germany would just fuck off because the political power they gained because of the industriousness of their rules abiding citizens is not very well deserved. They keep making terrible choices and try to force everyone into them.
It's not surprising to me that France is the country that created a revolution while Germany is the country that elected a dictator.

This is what Britain got right, the political projet is not going anywhere, there is just too much difference in heritage (in different meanings of the term) and I believe it is unreasonable to ask the citizens of each country to let go of those heritages. The differences exist for a reason and are keys to keep an equilibrium in power.

As for the economic project, it makes sense in a way it's much more efficient, but since monetary creation gives so much power in ou current system it is problematic in many ways. The standardization efforts are useful but forcing everyone into a dominant economic ideology is not serving everyone equally. Funniest thing is that Germany who was the one dominating the conversation, found a way to fuck up politically. Fiscally conscious but socially inept that is the way of the Germans.

All that being said, I'm all for the EU regulations concerning the DMA but it's just because our interests align and that's pretty much it.
