> You’re asking the wrong question… what we’d need to do is take a girl with the same height and muscle mass as a boy and give them both the diet and training (and societal and economic incentives and rewards) of a Usain Bolt from birth, then look for sexual dimorphism’s effect on their sports performance.

The unequal distribution of height and muscle mass is part of sexual dimorphism.

> no obvious biological reason to simply assume that two adult peers that had the same dietary and exercise and skills training regimes would have vastly different athletic performance characteristics

Imagine you convinced someone this was true. They could say trans women should be banned from women's sports because boys receive superior training.

The effects of hormones are not assumptions.

What is your explanation for trans men gaining athletic advantages and trans women losing athletic advantages during transition?
I took the bait when I heard the intro bit on Buddhism, because many people get a lot of stuff wrong about it (even people that practice it, which he seemed to say he did at one point).

> What cessation of desire meant was poofing out of existence.

That's not true. Even in Theravada formulations of Nirvana, which he's talking about, Nirvana is not an annihilation. The Buddha famously taught a Middle Path, which is there in the Theravada as well, between annihilation and an eternal self/soul.

He's not wrong about the power that tends to arise around the priestly caste though, which is why personally for my practice I draw inspiration from the stories of people like Saraha and Tilopa, who disavowed their positions to practice with low caste women.
A lot of the campiness of the original series disappears when you watch it on a much smaller screen at a distance - which is how it was designed.
Yep. For example, 25% of classified animals are beetles, and entomologists think we've classified under half of existent beetle species. Possibly as low as 1/5.

"Average" is doing a lot of work here.

Gaming is surely popular on phones, but I suggest that AAA games on on a tiny minority of phones overall. (My mom has literally no games on her phone etc.)

For Windows the proportion of games-machines to others is tiny. The number of people with "a dozen game lauchers" would be a microscopic percentage.

Yes, there are home PCs that are dedicated to gaming. Yes they will likely have lots of shortcuts, launchers, auto updates etc. And in some demographics (think male, under 25 etc) there will be proportionally more games installed.

But "average" ? I'm not sure.
That is fantastic to hear :)

The first decentralized game framework
The load balancer is blind to which client sent a request via ohttp. You need to do something to bypass that (traffic analysis or ordering the ohttp provider to help).

> But then every single load balancer has to have the list of targeted individuals and compromised servers, which seems problematic for secrecy at scale.

It really doesn't. This seems well within the realms of what you could achieve with a court order without it becoming public.

I'm not, really; the normal mode is that you offer to buy something and you get it or not. But if you want the information, it's publicly available in high but not perfect fidelity, making tracking hands even less valuable than otherwise.

I mean, we’re talking half as loud. I would have thought to a layman it would be a lot more impressive to remove half of a loud sound than half of a quiet one. But I’m wrong on that one judging by your comment, which is fine. To a noise control engineer whether the sound is loud or quiet makes no difference to how impressive it is because these are linear systems (unless we are talking extremely loud e.g. >140dB). Good point on the obvious measurement location.
I suppose if you didn’t grow up with privacy it’s hard to understand its importance, which is a real tragedy.
Three Terraform Use-Cases You Need to Start Implementing
And this is not far off most hardware.

Retail price will be about 5x BoM cost, or about 3x overall cost of goods, though of course it can vary wildly depending on volume and market.

HP famously aimed for a markup of pi (3.14x cost, ie gross margin > 60%), or e (2.71..) if they wanted to be especially competitive.
I’m confused by the three sets in the second figure: A, B and A-B. At first I took it to mean that there was some transformation of sets A and B that resulted in shape A-B. After rereading a couple times I think A-B is supposed to represent an intersection of some other sets A and B, not the two present to the left, and the significance of this intersection is that it overlaps the origin or 0,0. Is that right?

Hope this feedback is helpful.
Lewis Carroll, writing as Charles Dodgson, in a review of a new university belfry tower described it as best viewed from such distance that perspective dwindled it to a point.
"Frequent updates" is something that I would like to avoid in a CRM. Unless you have a team dedicated to update, test, migrate and fix.
I assume the transportation is the real problem. Even taking this sort of thing home from a store might lose the effect.

I can get a pretty decent temper on chocolate and I make bonbons once in a while, but I have still found that you can lose fine surface details with a temperature that is a comfortable "room temp" for humans.
Plus, I'd add that this is only an issue for apps with a high network effect.

For everything else I'd expect publisher's to just put their app in my favorite place, or risk me choosing something else.

For example im not going to install a new store just to get a note-taking app, unless that app was in some definitive way superior to all the others. (Which seems unlikely for a note taking app.)
>Controversially I believe the most viable future Linux desktop is likely to be based on the Android stack, especially the app packaging, but with the entire “java” layer removed.

What would replace all the APIs provided by the Java layer? Compared to what you find in traditional Linux desktops, the Java APIs are

1) comprehensive, providing a one-stop shop for basically all core app functionality; desktop Linux has no equivalent of the Android SDK or the Windows API.

2) versioned, with strong backward compatibility.

Linux desktops have no well-defined "minimum API version" that developers can target like they can on Android.
That's what I said. Parent said

You just listed the shovels. It's all just vr. That's the shiz, the shovel is the specs. The end use though is the same shiz between them with the same goal, the goal is to provide vr.
I wonder what (if anything) is the impact of the leading spaces on each line of the multiline string, which are an artifact of wanting to keep the prompt pretty within code.

Hopefully not much, but I've heard horror stories about trailing spaces...
> but what else explains the fact that even when there's more risk and likely poorer financial outcomes these otherwise very intelligent people still choose to work at these companies?

That's the wrong question to ask.

The right question to ask is: "How does an early stage startup attract the people it needs to be successful."

Money isn't the only metric, and there are good reasons to say "if you want top dollar, go work for a FAANG."

On the other hand, I was once approached to be employee #1 of a rather interesting startup, and the risk/reward ratio just wasn't there. The company was more likely to fail, and I was more likely to find myself unemployed after 24 months. Now that I have children and a mortgage, I can not do this.

In contrast, the company severely needed someone like me: Significant experience and knowledge; AND active interest in their product, with a mildly personal stake. Relying on someone young and cheap would be risky for them.

The problem isn’t just developing your own processor. Nvidia has a huge stack of pretty cutting edge technology including a huge stack from mellanox, an enormous OSS tool chain around CUDA, etc, that people seeking to make comparable products have to overcome.

Same story here, except my quick and temporary purchase was about five years ago. It's been my daily driver for off-desk work ever since. It's still snappy and the battery life is great, too.

99% of the carbon produced by F1 is from shipping everything and everyone around the planet. Shifting the focus to that 1% which doesn't matter at all is greenwashing.

Big oil sponsors don't want the real solution, carbon taxes, so they will shift the focus to anything else.
Not really interested if it’s not cross platform and standards compliant but this will work well for 99% of the market.
I think fb.com is their internal domain and they never really bothered to change it, I think employees used to have a @fb.com e-mail, at least this was true a few years ago, not sure if that has changed.
It only takes one or one business to expose them. Combine that with the LinkedIn breach or another which also requests your contacts.

One of my recent phone lookups for a dying friend had me, other family, and their friends numbers included along with previous phone numbers. I found my exotic 999 number I had for a short time.

None of my friends change their phone numbers and I am working to keep a 25 year old number by doing a two step switch because I have no idea how many places that have the number as a backup for codes and some family can’t seem to switch to using our mobile numbers.
I would call it "stupid" money. This isn't a commodity business. Value of the final product is orthogonal to amount invested in compute. If Google is 10% slower or its product is 10% worse, it can lose all the value. This is like valuing a software company higher because its devs are using cheap PC desktops instead of Mac.
Nvidia acquired Mellanox who know far more about custom HPC hardware than Google.
The premise seems pretty silly, as you’d expect some kind of jumping off point where remote mental telepathy could be possible. But, there is absolutely none. So it’s strange to think that “scientists” were testing for something completely made up and unobserved.

This is because of the reductionist myth that all organic matter is fungible. It’s always “well we plant new trees, so what’s the problem?”
Careful: Before web apps were common, 3rd party applications on Windows would break all kinds of things.

The hardware manufacturer needs to ensure that software doesn't break the device.

Apple and Google are going well beyond any reasonable grey area, though. Demanding a cut if I buy a book through the Kindle app is absurd and has nothing to do with ensuring that Kindle doesn't break my smartphone.
Tip for anyone job hunting: ask the company if they’re profitable before accepting the offer.

If they are, huge bonus points. If they aren’t, ask them more about how they run their business and how they plan to fund it over time.
No, you won't. It's entirely possible to have brick production but no brick right now. Have you ever even played Catan? This is basic stuff.
No, I don’t believe it is. There’s much wiggle room between the two scenarios you painted.

Of course one can have a deep distrust of the government without believing it’s run by lizard people from another planet.

I honestly thought "do they mean GPUs falling off a bus entering the data center" and then realized its actually the connectivity, as they mention in the next line

GPUs falling off: In this case, GPUs are not detected by the host on PCIe.
The UK has a ton of old dwellings. Like, a three century old home isn't even a local landmark. It's just a house.

They have of course been retrofitted with electricity and plumbing and gas and modern insulation (usually), but exactly what you get depends on how recently it's been renovated. And "mid 20th century" is a very common answer.

lol, no? The most I got from Sony and Samsung in 2012 and 2015 was 1-2 years. Which is when I generally stopped using Android. It was frustraing enough to read all the news about "Google releases new Andoid with (list of features)" then asking when is my Sony/Samsung is getting that? to hear "oh maybe in 4 or 6 months if you're lucky. Or download this random ROM from `appzworrier` on xdaforum. Surely they haven't put any malware in the ROM or you'll hear about it here". I did give it another shot in 2019 with a Pixel 4 phone then after 2 RMAs with battery issues (4-5 hours of battery) I went back to iPhone. Funny thing is in 2013 and 2016 I switched back to the old iPhone I had before the upgrad, I just updated them to the latest iOS version there was at the time. After the shitshow I had with google support in 2019 I just gave up.
It's probably both. Rivers are convenient for transport, which means raiders can also target them since so much valuable stuff is transported that way. A castle is a sensible way (in those times) to put a protective force in place against the raiders. However, the castle and the people protecting river traffic need money, so of course that comes from tolls.

It's no different than any "protection racket" or police force: the money has to come from somewhere to offer protection, so some form of tax is normally used.
Should be fun but is just depressing. How about a reverse trolley problem where good things happen? Now that i think of it, this might become the next great life/career planning tool…:)

A moment of reflection: on the positive trolley tool, not being able to pick both good things is its own tragedy (let’s say family and career). But the reverse doesn’t behave the same - the decision to pull the lever for two negative outcomes doesn’t cause me to feel joy that only one of the disasters occurs and not both!
VanillaOS would be another great example (arguably cooler than silverblue imo).
Funny, I've been using even primitive text-to-speech on PDFs for years and while nothing compares to an excellent human reader, I find TTS often better than a mediocre human reading. This is mainly because I don't get upset at (and then have to forgive) a machine when it says the "Loovree" instead of the Louvre or in an economic history book pronounces "Keens" for John Maynard Keynes (sound like "Kaynes"). Also the dead neutrality of a machine's reading can jar me less than a numbskull and/or phony human rendition. I must say though that excellent voice actors are to me heaven.
I'm trying to remember why Android forked from Linux in the first place. Or was it always it's own thing?

Yup, some also contain parasitic fungi that are infesting a host mushroom. Thus, even experienced pickers may run risks foraging wild samples. The cloning/cultivation/identification process is an important part of safety, and should be done by an experienced mycologist.

These seem classic challenges with running distributed systems loads that are not specific to training LLMs.

Anyone of the super computers listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500 suffers from the same issues.

Think about it. While the national labs use these systems to model serious stuff -such as climate or nuclear weapons- Meta uses them to train LLMs. What a joke, honestly!
Serious Sam was such a fun game - this was a really interesting write up too. I wish this kind of dedication to low latency and efficiency was more widespread.
That's the incorrect belief that causes so many people to hold their RSUs. The day you vest the RSU is the day someone decided to:

(1) give you the amount in cash (as regular income)
(2) take that cash and buy that stock on your behalf
(3) turn around and give you the stock

and somehow you decide to let (2) and (3) happen without returning to the cash position in (1) and buying whatever else you would prefer to hold. The LTCG clock starts on that day, and all you're doing by holding your vested RSU is let someone else decide to buy stuff on your behalf and make the decision for you.

(that's assuming that there's an ability to liquidate the RSU on the vest date)

That would be great, but I think we're just going to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Honestly that's one of the better realistic scenarios that we could hope for.

For standard Catan, the resources aren't quite perfectly determinable - when one player robs another, any players besides those two don't know which resource changed hands. There is a valid argument from that that resources should be fully concealed. Everybody can track how many of each resource currently exists in total, but they don't always know who holds which ones.
