From a couple of the sources referred to in the article:

Impact of repeated blast exposure on active-duty United States Special Operations Forces - https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313568121

"We performed a multimodal study of active-duty United States Special Operations Forces (SOF)—an elite group repeatedly exposed to explosive blasts in training and combat—to identify diagnostic biomarkers of brain injury associated with repeated blast exposure (RBE). We found that higher blast exposure was associated with alterations in brain structure, function, and neuroimmune markers, as well as lower quality of life. Neuroimaging findings converged on an association between cumulative blast exposure and the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC), a widely connected brain region that modulates cognition and emotion. This work supports the use of a network-based approach, focusing on the rACC, in future studies investigating the impact of RBE on SOF brain health."

Characterisation of interface astroglial scarring in the human brain after blast exposure: a post-mortem case series - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27291520/

"The blast exposure cases showed a distinct and previously undescribed pattern of interface astroglial scarring at boundaries between brain parenchyma and fluids, and at junctions between grey and white matter. This distinctive pattern of scarring may indicate specific areas of damage from blast exposure consistent with the general principles of blast biophysics, and further, could account for aspects of the neuropsychiatric clinical sequelae reported. The generalisability of these findings needs to be explored in future studies, as the number of cases, clinical data, and tissue availability were limited."
What percent of these owners do that? Probably a single digit number if I had to guess. Orders of magnitude more people use that horsepower to drive like an idiot on the public road.
I've heard this use case come up in hybrid new/legacy products where there is a chasm between legacy scalability (probably a monolith in the compute or storage layer, or both). The "new" side needs to be able to self-regulate and if you can put that into the service-side it would it would be a helpful transition enabler (and, let's face it, given these transitions often never finish your product would be effectively sticky).

I don't think the cost of queues is a problem anywhere (I'm sure it is somewhere, but not a market's worth). The problems created by queues, on the other hand, are myriad and expensive.
Correct me if I’m wrong but: SQLite sounds like: runs on one server. While that will work most of the time, it won’t work 100% of the time. I don’t know the specifics, but I’m fairly sure if a queue server crashes, SQS will keep working, as stuff is redundant.
So while it can work in a best case, this (probably) won’t have the same reliability as SQS has..

It's known as TV Pickup.

Half time of a pivotal England World Cup game, shown only on commercial TV. I'm pretty sure finals (and maybe semi-finals) are always simulcast on the BBC so it's unlikely to have that commercial break element. There were a few big ones (>1GW) this century for big England games, and a notable one during COVID responses when people put a kettle on and then went outside to clap thank you to NHS workers.

But the other types of events, soap character's murderer revealed, long running drama ends, that sort of thing, are casualties of modern viewing habits - no longer a single identifiable (and potentially disastrous if not allowed for) bump.
Yes, those “early protocols” carry everything. Until applications stop opening sockets, this problem doesn’t go away.
And when the phone is 4 years old and won't make a full day without a second charge (as opposed to just overnight) then you'll probably simply replace it despite it being good for another 4 years, easily, if it had a new battery. That may be fine for you, but not all of us are so filthy rich.

"What's with the US government mandating seat belts in foreign cars sold here!!! How dare they! Instead of requiring seat belts, the US government should offer tax breaks to auto makers who do offer seat belts. Surely that's the right way to incentivize them."

"What's with the US's 'Tylenol bill' that requires tamper proof cases on over the counter medications to prevent another cyanide murder case like the one in 1982? How dare the US government interfere in the design of drug makers' product packaging. Instead of enforcement, they should have just given a big fat tax break any of over the counter medication producers that voluntarily decided to offer tamper proof containers. That would surely be in the public's best interest, right?"

Your arguments are weak, my friend. Do better.
Lol, you're exactly who I'm complaining about. I do agree with you: I also dislike people who don't learn their tools and don't do the things you're talking about. But just because you're using an IDE doesn't mean you're going to use all of its features. Conversely, if you're going to use a text editor, you absolutely have to ensure you have that stuff.
>> You put that information into the dataset. In supervised learning it's called labels.

I was assuming that the "general purpose computing" training dataset would be so unfathomably large that unsupervised learning would be a necessity.

Who is going to label the "general purpose computing" training dataset and how would it be persisted?

> Credit cards, on the other hand, can easily run you 30% on a $5 transaction here in the US, due to the unjustifiable fixed + percentage structure. Maybe it’s a little better in Canada.

Are you sure it's 30%? Credit card fees are usually in the order of 3% + minimum fixed charge. Stripe is 2.9% + 30 cents.

There are some extra charges for manually entered cards, international cards, etc. but even if you max that out it's still only 11.2%, not 30%.

Yes full agreement from me.

I think loads of energy is wasted in development because someone wants custom stuff like buttons or input boxes without real reason where off the shelf GUI would work and would be much cheaper.

I have interviewed with Google. It's not explicitly tested for but you can be sure the interviewers will have an opinion of your character.

Also, (in the middle of six hours of interviewing) for lunch I lunched with someone completely outside of the particular group I was interviewing for. Rather genial chap and I'm sure his opinion was sought too.

I'm not downplaying the tech questions, I'm saying there's a meta/side evaluation as well.

I had a similar reaction; one of their constraints was “Reduce server memory”, which tells me their Serverless vendor charges more, which is a constraint they don’t need to have. Using a colo server, memory cost is rarely an important factor.

First you gotta decide what kind of software you want to develop. Or if you are doing it to get a job. The answers will vary a lot.

As a general recommendation easy to follow, I would recommend to learn JavaScript and only JavaScript. And you can go just for the most modern version of it without need to worry about things that make javascript complex: compiling, bundling, commonjs vs ES modules, etc.

JavaScript is a joyful language to work with and can get you very, very far in the software development landscape.

> The OSD is defined specifically to ensure that open source code, except GPL can be commercially exploited and effectively become closed-source by big tech.

That is a real problem, but the solution is to move towards GPL, not away from open source.
That is cool, but often feels potentially less impactful. I take a slightly different view - maybe I am lucky to be fortunate enough to be in a position to make an impact - even though it is unlikely that I will benefit financially.

I break it down two ways.

First, the project does not yet have a distributed implementation, you’re correct. Stay tuned!

Second, SQLite is incidental. Data is still stored on disk, just as SQS must be, but I’ve chosen SQLite as the file format for now.

No, it makes sense: he's coming at it from the perspective of knowing exactly what task you want to accomplish (something like "fixing the grammar in this document.") In such cases, a model only has to be sufficiently smart to work for 99.9999% of inputs — at which point you cross a threshold where adding more intelligence is just making the thing bulkier to download and process, to no end for your particular use-case.

In fact, you would then tend to go the other way — once you get the ML model to "solve the problem", you want to then find the smallest and most efficient such model that solves the problem. I.e. the model that is "as stupid as possible", while still being very good at this one thing.
This is such a great change. Most of the time my friend changing phone is because of the battery. The battery is dead, the phone is old, and replacing battery service is expensive, so they might as well buy a new one. Now with this, we will have another option to just replace the battery ourselve and move on (Well unless the manufacturers don't sell them)

This line will last for 100+ years - I really don't think it's that much for a state with a GDP of $3trillion+ to connect many of the major cities.

The other thing to think about is what is the alternative - road or airport construction in california is not cheap. Replacing 2 bridges on I-5 in stockton is going to cost nearly $1b alone.

And I think a lot of the benefit won't just come from the main SF LA route, it'll be intermediate stations to SF or LA too. It'll only take 19 minutes to go from Palmdale to LA for example - compared with 1hr+ now. In a way it would have been better to have the IOS be one of those routes, but they are also the most difficult geography.

If we are talking about a single neural network that can do everything in real-time, then the only viable path I am aware of is spiking neural networks.

When you are working with I/O, you need to be very sensitive to time domain considerations. Training a periodic timer (i.e. polling for a response) into the current crop of transformer models does not seem feasible outside of clunky agentic approaches that invoke some external tool.

I don't know: as I understood it, the trucker thing was basically about showing that they occupy a strategic position in the Canadian economy. It's like the old rail strike idea: it doesn't matter if everybody hates you, if the trains aren't running, then the government has to make a deal, otherwise the economy collapses.

I don't think they actually did hold that strategic position (if the police had, you know, done their jobs, they wouldn't be blocking the roads for long), but if you know that the police won't do that (because they always baby right wing protestors) it makes some sense. And that was a lot of the rhetoric from the truckers about themselves: I guess we'd just come out of the pandemic with all these sudden realizations about essential workers, which definitely included truckers, and there's often (but probably not in the trucker's case) a connection between being 'essential' and 'occupying a strategically advantageous position'.
You connect directly to one of the players in the lobby, also known as a peer. It isn't a dedicated game server, just the game itself. I think it qualifies very well as P2P.

> Every scientist has to be a materialist

Quite obviously not true (and also untrue in a documented sense in that many great scientists have not been materialists). Science is a method, not a philosophical view of the world.

> it comes from interacting with the world as it is

That the world is materialistic is unproven (and not possible to prove).

You are simply propounding a materialist philosophy here. As I've said before, it's fine to have that philosophy. It's not fine to dogmatically push that view as 'reality' and then extend on that to build and push fantasies about 'artificial intelligence'. Again, we avoid all of this philosophical debate if we simply stick to the term 'machine learning'.
Elite distance runners don't really need much water during a typical marathon. The water serves more as a delivery mechanism for the carbohydrates and electrolytes which they actually need to maximize performance.

Consuming plain water during really long endurance events can cause hyponatremia. Not recommended. But for the short 10k and under running events that most of us do, it doesn't really matter much.
How manuscripts used to be preserved :

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03400352221103...

I have been to a few museums and libraries where the palmyra manuscripts and texts are still preserved. They should remain with people who value them instead of handing them over to the govt.

In our home library, we lost so many books where the pages were so brittle that they would break like biscuits. But the religious palm leaf scripts that have been in the family for generations were well preserved as they were wrapped in cloth. We also had some inscriptions on copper plates or some other kind of alloy metal. They were at the altar in the prayer room and kept submerged in water always. I don’t know what language it was but it was none of the known modern languages.

Even today., in the deep south, there are palm leaf astrologers whose lineage have owned Nadi astrology palm leaf manuscripts that is supposed to relate everything about you life and past lives including when you will visit the astrologer. There are some authentic lineages.

The text is written in Vatteluttu and script knowledge is passed down lineages only https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatteluttu

> There is a real danger that an LLM will include information in the summary that does not come from the original email thread, but from other emails the model was trained on. You could learn from the summary that you are going to get fired, even though that was not a part of the original conversation. HR doesn't like that.

There could be separate personal fine-tunes per user, trained (in the cloud) on the contents of that user's mail database, which therefore have knowledge of exactly the mail that particular user can access, and nothing else.

My main issue is the state of the science in 2019 was that epigenetic had a way stronger influence on genetics than previously thought, so i thought you had a new twin study showing that behavior was so overwhelmingly decided by genetics that epigenetic influence did not matter. I did not find any relevant twin study in your book citations, also, they are all old and not up to date (i'm not either, my last meaningfull dive into that subject was pre-covid).

To be honest, I mostly asked because i thought i had missed a new study between 2019 and today, so giving me pre-2015 books wasn't helpfull :/

Nobody is obligated to provide anything good, but as long as there’s competition, the market will force suppliers to provide good enough stuff for the price they ask.
