Well. They're not discernible states if they are in another world. That's the very definition of "another world".

From an outside viewer that hasn't been entangled with you, no branching happens and they see the overall state evolve according to the Schrodinger equation.

Imagine that w create very small machines that could perform some observations and record them into some internal log.

Now imagine creating a particle in some state and have that machine measure that state and record it internally. Provided that the particle+machine system is isolated from the environment (and us) you'd probably agree that the particle and machine are entangled and that the state of the "log" is not in a defined state until we measure it.

Now, that information processing machine is not a human but I think it may be useful to describe how the external world would look like from it's point of view. For example, if that machine performed several experiments on that test particle or other particles it would note in its log data that would confirm that it obeys the Born rule.

In that sense, it's "useful" to imagine how things look like from the "point" of view of that machine and it's possible outcomes in the many worlds, although these worlds might not really matter to us since we can describe the system that includes that machine as having been in a mixed state all along until we humans actually observe its "log"

The likelihood that people start to object to this though experiment gets higher and higher s as soon as one starts to imply that we humans ourselves are exactly like that machine.

For me, the observation that our ability to accept or reject this interpretation is so much tied to our intuitions about our own _self_ is a strong hint that actually favours the theory. We humans have been known to be trapped by our point of view

yeah i mean i'm very sympathetic to MWI so even my original comment is not going to be very good at defending copenhagen - but i do think the math is pretty much equivalent depending on what you define as the system. just like i could have equivalent math where i was assuming that all reality was actually just God moving around the particles with non-local hidden states only known to Him (i'm not religious though).
You know it will fail if you didn't screw up anything else.

But it's a good sanity check/safety measure to call it anyway incase you made a mistake elsewhere. An errant rollback is more likely to be caught in testing than a dangling transaction.

> Worse, is when the datasheet makes this difficult to discern,

That's why I like RP2040 so much. Datasheet is amazing and clear, even for someone like me who hasn't spent too much time in embedded world.

There is a special, much shorter document just for hardware design that makes designing a board that uses RP2040 even easier.
TI's MSPM0G350x (also a low-cost Cortex-M0+ design) runs full-tilt at 8mA, STOP-sleeps at 400uA, STANDBY-sleeps at 5uA, and SHUTDOWN-sleeps at 80nA.

https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/mspm0g3507-q1.pdf

--------

RP2040's full-speed is okay. 20+mA is a lot but it is easily explained by the absurdly huge SRAM banks it has.

But RP2040's sleep states are absolutely AWFUL. The Cortex-M0+ chips are all extremely power-competitive vs each other, because Cortex-M0+ is extremely low-end with regards to core-design.

You're pretty much only getting a Cortex-M0+ because its the absolute minimum 32-bit processor on the market. (8-bitters and 4-bitters exist if you're willing to go even lower-end, but Cortex-M0+ is the bottom of ARM's offerings). So low-power seems to be a must in this market, IMO anyway.

If you're willing to use higher amounts of power, you really should get a few more features, like an FPU on the Cortex-M4.
You can do this with Groups in Google Workspace pretty easily.
I find hand soldering QFN is faster, easier and more reliable than (T)QFP once you got enough practice. If you need to rework the QFN part the key is to FLOOD the footprint with good solder flux from a syringe. Do not use one of those flux pens, those do not dispense enough flux.

> There is no reason to think it doesn't map. Perhaps the struggle here is in not realizing that OpenAI was intended to be a charity?

It was opened to be a non-profit, not a charity.

It doesn't map, I'm not sure what else there is to tell you. If I had a conversation with any non-profit (e.g. a church or a university or an AI non-profit) I wouldn't assume that anything they tell me is completely honest.

If I had a conversation with a friend I would be more likely to believe him. It really doesn't map at all.

> In fact, they are just people. Remove the people and everything represented by those labels completely disappears.

They really aren't. Like, they fundamentally are not people.

A person would feel bad about firing 12,000 people in an afternoon, but Google the company did exactly that (while still giving the executives bonuses no less). If you want to call a corporation people, then they are the most sociopathic monsters imaginable.

I think it's much simpler, a corporation is an entity that is composed of people, but in the same way I wouldn't consider a skin cell "a person", I wouldn't consider an organization "people".
This is interesting and scary.
I admit I am no expert in D, I've written just a couple of hobby projects in it... but this sort of thing is actually much easier in D because it has associative arrays.

About comptime, it seems to me it's trivial to do that in D.

I started a little implementation of StringMap based losely on the Zig example, but I just did enough to show how D's templates and associative arrays could be used to implement that:

https://godbolt.org/z/o7GoobbKb

You can see that the creation of the map does not generate any Assembly, so it's run at comptime:

// comptime values!
static immutable entries = ["foo": 1, "bar": 2, "zort": 3];
enum map = mapOf(entries);

Notice that in D, "enum" can be used as a compile-time only variable, see https://dlang.org/spec/enum.html#manifest_constants

The Assembly seems to be almost all related to the associative array implementation generated by the D compiler.

EDIT : if you want to try to continue the impl, have a look at the D's template tutorial: https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/D-templates-tutorial/blob/...

D templates can do pretty much anything.
It's improtant that GPU threads support locking and control flow divergence and I don't want to minimize that, but threads within a warp diverging still badly loses throughput, so I don't think the situation I'd fundamentally different in terms of what the machine is good/bad at. We're just closer to the base architecture's local maximum of capabilities, as one would expect for a more mature architecture; various things it could be made to support it now actually supports because there was time to add this support
Interesting, I've got the exact opposite experience.

Small to medium production runs are always a bit of a pain, because you have to do a lot of coordination with the factory when it comes to tooling. You have to ship a custom programmer, get them to install the drivers on whatever OS they are using, and then find a way to write custom code to interact with the programmer and deal with all the possible error conditions.

The RP2040? A simple script which detects the presence of a RPI-labelled flash drive, copies a file, and repeats. Written in half an hour. Drivers? Not an issue. Hardware? Everyone has a USB cable lying around already. Error conditions? It either succeeds, or it doesn't - the OS handles the rest.

I believe the SIM supports all kinds of rules for what networks and xG should be visible to the user.

I know for a fact a local network has 3G here, but it’s not exposed on my phone to choose, presumably because it knows there’s 4G and 5G and carriers don’t want some dolt camping on 3G and eating more mhz/bit. I used to camp on 3G because Canada sent out too many dumb “emergency alerts” for custody disputes 1000km away, but those only operated over LTE, not 3G.

People don’t believe me when I say you can see, and sometimes connect to, US networks from a tall building in Toronto from over the lake because Canadian SIMs have rules/conditions to hide them, but if you put in an overseas SIM, you’ll see them on a scan.

Have also had a world of a time with a French SIM refuse to connect to a Canadian tower because it really preferred the US towers (lower roaming costs maybe?).
Rare-earths supply has been picking up for years.

- Australian rare earth mines.[1]

- MP Minerals Mountain Pass, California mine.[2]

Now the price of raw ore has dropped. "Revenue decreased 49% year-over-year to $48.7 million, driven by a 54% decrease in the realized price of rare earth oxide (“REO”) in concentrate and a 9% decrease in REO sales volumes partially offset by initial sales of separated NdPr."[3] Rare earth gluts have happened before. There's some price manipulation from China, and too much financialization at MP Minerals (they just did a stock buyback) but it's mostly that demand isn't that sensitive to price. Rare earth costs are a small fraction of the cost of a motor. MP Minerals is still running at a loss. The previous owner of that mine went bankrupt.

The bottleneck now seems to be the next steps in ore processing. MP Minerals announced in 2021 that they were starting to build a processing plant in Fort Worth, Texas.[4] The building has been built and there are cars in the parking lot.[5] It's a small facility, subsidized by General Motors and DoD. Production of product (magnets) is supposed to start in 2025.

There's no fundamental shortage of rare earths, but making money at this seems to be very difficult.

I find "offline first" software to be interesting because it's so foreign to me. If I wanted to build an offline first application, I'd just build a traditional desktop application with Qt or GTK etc.

Why did you choose to build this with a webdev stack?

(Not a criticism! Use what works for you! I'm just interested in why people choose the tools they do.)
Inflation, price levels, GDP, etc are not relevant to the overwhelming majority.

Most people only care about having enough money to achieve their life goals. Have a family, own a home, whatever.

People are upset about inflation because costs went way up and salaries stagnated.

Even though inflation is leveling off, many industries are experiencing layoffs, forgoing raises and promotions, etc.

Costs (profits) have gone way up but the average income has not.

I've never tried this but this makes a lot of sense in my mind's eye. I'll try this next time I have such an issue.

-------

TQFP seems nice because I can sloppily shove tons of solder down, and then just wick up all the excess solder with solder wick. In fact, I purposefully over-solder all the TQFP joints for this practice. (Too much solder during reflow, and then just a quick cleanup step with a soldering iron later).
I distinctly remember adding it to the Google Pay app at some point in the past.

Checking my phone now, I see that i don't have Google Wallet, and instead there is an unbranded Wallet that may be on my phone? Just, what the actual F? Are those the same thing? If Wallet is a generic thing on my phone, do I want Google Wallet, which Google Pay is telling me I should be using to manage my credit cards, now?
Interesting—LangChain seemed kinda like unnecessary abstractions in natural language (since everything is just string manipulations), but with AI video, there's so many different abstractions that I'd need to handle (images, puppeting, facegen, voicegen, etc).

AI will never come close to producing what people can, because an AI cannot be made to suffer. Suffering is essential to the creative process. Suffering is the key, it's the whole point, and at the core of the human experience. When we look at creative output, we are looking at the sum of the suffering experienced by the creator. The more suffering, the better the content.

Even if Google were treated as a local company, that does not change anything.

I find unbelievable that a bank has the arrogance of conditioning their services on whether their customers accept to do business or not with some third party.

I see no difference between the condition of having a Google account and for instance a condition that I should buy my car from Audi or from any other designated company, instead of from wherever I want. It is none of my bank's business what products or services I choose to buy or use (outside of special circumstances like when receiving bank credits).

Someone mentioned that in Europe you can send via IBAN to anyone. Well in Ukraine you can just use card number and send money to any bank. There is virtually no bank in Ukraine that doesn’t support this. Obviously IBAN also works for that, but nobody uses it for P2P, only to pay companies for provided services. It’s a big surprise for me that people actually need third party apps for P2P money transfers.
The comparison between Lisp and Forth that is often made is very shallow. It's more than just prefix vs postfix. Lisp takes garbage collection for granted, Forth is designed to avoid any complication and doesn't even have heap allocation.

The lack of local variables and named parameter is also a consequence of this search for ultra-low complexity, in dialects that follow the traditional style (the one of the creator of Forth, Chuck Moore).

The readability argument is one that should always be taken 1024 grains of salt. You say Lisp is more readable, yet you'll find some people to say that it's "Lots of Insipid and Stupid Parenthesis" and that prefix notation is unnatural. You could also find positive opinions about APL. It is just a matter of training and habits.
In the US, at least, food regulations (and food packaging regulations) are relatively recent. And when they started, instead of requiring everybody prove that everything they’d been doing was safe, they came up with the idea of identifying substances or practices as Generally Recognized as Safe ( https://www.fda.gov/food/food-ingredients-packaging/generall... ), and then requiring safety analysis on new substances or practices. And things can lose their GRAS status if new evidence turns up.
> It's not like the number of puzzles makes a difference to a bot

They do actually.

A lot of the captcha process isn't just yes/no to the answer anymore (though this signal seems to be increasing lately). They also monitor timings on clicks, movement of the mouse, etc to identify a bot vs a real user. More data on these signals = better reliability for detecting bots.
We need a simpler way to make GPT get mass adoption and I don't think GPT Store from OpenAI will do that.

We need a unique interface with a standardized process to help people make use-case-specific GPTs.

Let's see what the future holds.
I think that the way is to design an entirely new operating system, and I have some ideas how to do it (but not a name, yet). It will be FOSS, and the user can easily reprogram everything in the entire system. It uses capability-based security with proxy capabilities; no I/O is possible (including the current date/time) without using a capability. Also, better interaction of data between command-line and GUI will also be possible.

Linux and other systems tend to be overly complicated; they need to add extra functions to the kernel because of the problems with the initial design; but, I think it can be done better in a simpler way.

Webapps are also too complicated, and does not really solve the permissions issue properly (the set of permissions doesn't (and cannot) include everything, the possibility of overriding by the user is difficult and inefficient, etc), and also isn't very well designed either.

There are sandboxing systems available on Linux but they have their own problems; e.g. many have no way to specify the use of popen with user-specified programs, or what needs to be accessed according to user configuration files and/or command-line arguments, user-defined plugins, or cannot properly support character encoding in file names (due to issues with D-bus), etc. (Using D-bus for this is a mistake, I think. The other things they have done (other than D-bus), also don't handle it very well.) There is also issue of being unknown what permissions will be needed before the program is installed, especially when using libraries that can be set up to use multiple kinds of I/O.
Downloads.

If the user agent reports 32 bit, when you go to download an installer, the page can present you with the 32 bit version. Likewise with 64 bit (from the early days when 32 bit was more common). Same goes with reporting that it's x86 vs ARM.

So now if you are on an old 32 bit machine and try to install new software from the web, it'll give you a 64 bit installer that you almost certainly won't even be able to run on your machine.

Now with linux that's less of an issue given that installs on linux already depend on a ton of stuff (and linux users tend to understand the difference between 32bit and 64bit)

There's a ton of evidence that these substances might be bad for you. Among human study cohorts they have been shown to have a serious impact on reproductive health and infertility, metabolic and oxidative stress, cancer risk, cardiovascular health, the immune system (including children’s asthma), and neurodevelopment. Exposure risks extend from more controllable areas such as consumption of packaged food to less controllable areas such as environmental and household dust. Moreover, the impacts seems to be more pronounced in children. While most research on these effects in human subjects are more recent, people have noticed the link between plasticizers and hormones/fertility in male rats since the late 1980s. Thirty-five years of results make it less likely that human results shown are a result of p-hacking or similar statistical legerdemain. With half of the world’s plastics produced in the last 15 years - we'll probably see the research become more conclusive as the effects of those plastics are seen in further human studies
