There are certain foods that you can not reasonably make at home or are just extremely fussy and a huge waste of time to make at home.

You won't achieve wok hei on your stove, your oven will not be ablr to achieve the high temperatures required for the best versions of certain foods, restaurants in your area will get priority from suppliers over what you find in the grocery store and even most farmers markets, and that's just talking about average restaurants. You start getting into fine dining or a Michelin experience with teams of people preparing the food and it's an entirely different level of impossibility to make at home.

Sure eating a fast food burger and fries everyday will be heavy, but even something that simple can be difficult to match compared to the restaurant. Grinding your own meat, double frying the fries, finding/making decent buns, etc.

Food is one of the few activities that can be very enjoyable daily. It's usually cost saving to cook yourself and there's a lot of good stuff you can make at home. But you're missing out on some enjoyable experiences by completely avoiding professionals using professional equipment with access to better ingredients.

The next 4 years of Trump will be an interesting time then, because we're going to discover which businesses will trade our lives for profit. If doing the right thing comes second to doing what's profitable, businesses with the mindset you describe are the kinds of businesses that will assist in genocide.

If things play out the way I expect, I hope these businesses learn the hard way that doing the wrong thing isn't always profitable, or survivable if you side with Nazis.
One thing those netbooks didn't/don't do that OLPC aimed to do was mesh networking. Internet connectivity is still... spotty, at best, in a lot of countries - even in some of the so-called "developed" ones.

I watched a video¹ today about the ongoing civil war in Myanmar, and while the video focuses on the rebels' use of 3D-printed firearms, there was a smaller point about how a lot of Rohingya villages ended up entirely caught off-guard during the most recent wave of genocidal purging because news would travel too slow from village to village; as the Junta forces would descend upon one village, there was no effective way for that village to warn its neighbors.

First thing that popped into my head: "ain't this something OLPC and other mesh network attempts would've been able to address?"

A lot of mesh networking experiments, including that of OLPC, seem to have failed - but some have shown some recent success. Maybe it's time to have another go at deploying mesh networks to the masses at scale, learning from those failures and successes?

Those of us lucky enough to have PG&E in California have a different calculation though. As of my latest bill they charge 88c/kWh and I heard they just approved yet another rate increase. We'll probably be paying $1/kWh pretty soon.

It's a bit cheaper after midnight, but still more expensive than nearly everywhere.

I find the requirement to give a note together is a good insensitive to stay focus on what the topic is, try to grab it, ask questions to start to put some lights on the biggest dark corner of the task.

I couldn't care less about the resulting quantification. What matter is how well we communicate in the team, how helpful we are with each other, how well we can progress and keep motivation where struggle with huge hindrances paving the way. The points are not the point, but they are not pointless.

The map is not the territory. Everyone can have a different map and a different metric system if any. If at the end of the day people inhabiting the territory do it in a satisfying way, all good. It doesn't matter much what the plan on the paper might look like: it will always be a mere epiphenomenal artifact of the actual human processes at play.
That doesn’t mean that they’re saying Guard Duty is required but rather that it’s one way to satisfy that need. If you picked a different product, you could disable that control in Security Hub.

One of the things I appreciate so much about blender is seeing how it has evolved and improved so dramatically. I initially used it maybe 20–25 years ago when my dad started telling me Linux was going to take over computing, and all my expensive 3d modelling and animation programs were going to get replaced by this "open source" software called Blender 3d.

I thought he was full of it (as teenagers will), but over time I've come to see where he was coming from, and Blender's progress as an open source application has been staggering.

It's at the point where I'd pick it over several commercial options, and genuinely prefer it. It's great software.

Something I appreciate about it is how inspiring it is to see what people can accomplish given time and determination. It's a wonderful product which I didn't think was possible as a kid. I didn't expect it to become what it is at all.
for SpaceX it's a bet that if Trump wins they will get far more lobbying power for contracts and Boeing/Lockheed will be even more screwed.

And while consumer opinion on Tesla and Starlink will be hurt, Elon is probably hoping to get Trump to tariff Chinese electric car competitors massively so his only competition will be domestic
I like this, I'd advocate for a fruit-based task system - although I suppose the exact fruit ranking would depend on the team.

- easy but needs careful handling: kiwi

- regular but boring: red delicious

- regular, who wouldn't want to take one of these?: mango

- large task, risk of splash damage if mishandled: watermelon

- tough to crack, needs time or a hammer: coconut

- technically we'll do this, but not really our job: tomato

Edit: I am sad that emojis aren't allowed in comments, though it's understandable.
People sometimes complain about "motte-and-bailey" rhetoric, where what you argue for explicitly is much more unassuming than what you really believe. I have rarely seen so spectacular an example.

Motte: "there might be non-differentiable phenomena in physics". (Note that e.g. anyone who believes that "wavefunction collapse" in quantum physics is an actual real thing believes in non-differentiable phenomena; so does anyone who thinks that inside black holes there are actual singularities rather than merely places where general relativity breaks down and something more complicated happens; so does anyone who thinks that the smooth-looking stuff we seem to observe arises from some combinatorial underlying structure like a cellular automaton or some kind of constantly-evolving network of vertices and edges and whatnot.)

Bailey: literal freakin' creationism.

(Complete with "a God who specially designed you". Something in the world might not be differentiable, therefore there is a God who specially designed you. Gosh!)

As I said elsewhere in this thread: evolutionism means belief in evolution, or belief that evolution happened some particular way or did some particular set of things. And creationism means belief in creation, or belief that creation happened some particular way or did some particular set of things. These are not, even slightly, the same thing as whether or not some functions describing the universe might be non-differentiable.

Also, "non-differentiable" is not, even slightly, the same as "not time invariant". E.g., the function y = cos(exp(-x)) + exp(-x) cos(x^2) is not-time-invariant on both large and small scales, but it's differentiable, analytic even. And "x is a continuous function of t, and (dx/dt)^2 = 1 at all but a discrete set of points" is as time-invariant a law as you might care to mention, but almost all its solutions have places where they aren't differentiable."
Totally get it. :-)

I did include a helpful TLDR near the beginning with the highlights though.

I'm moving to a fork at first, but what's exciting to me about Ladybird is that it's got a new web engine.

I'm hoping it helps bring some more diversity to the ecosystem which is extremely Blink heavy at the moment.
Those items after your eg are part of the problem why story points don't work for you.

You really do need to control the amount of time your devs get distracted by other things. If they're solely focusing on that one project, you'll be fine.

I doubt that wireless energy transmission at this scale and distance will ever be practical. It will probably never be economic compared to terrestrial panels and batteries.

If/when we build space elevators, then orbital solar might make sense to use the tether to transfer power. Even with the lower cost of putting mass in orbit, I don't think it'd be any cheaper than terrestrial solar.

Besides, by the time we figure put space elevators, we'll already have commercial fusion, right?
I've had to implement BigNum on an embedded system that had very little RAM and where the initial optimized version of ModExp took many minutes to complete. After much hair-pulling, the final version took 40 seconds.

First, you should work with unsigned numbers, and use a power of 2 as your word size. The fastest choice for a word size is very operation- and CPU-dependent.

A key trick is to lay out your bignums in the same order as the endianity of each word in memory, e.g. least-significant word first on little-endian systems. This will allow you to choose your word size dynamically for each operation: in memory, a number with M words of N bits each is identical to a number with M / 2 words of N * 2 bits each.

For multiplication, identify the CPU instruction with the widest result, then use half that size as your word size. Each step through the arrays generates a word result in the low half and a word carry in the top half. The carry gets added to the result of the next step, possibly overflowing.

For addition, use the widest result as your word size. This can also overflow.

How you deal with overflows is very CPU-dependent. You can use adc/addc as someone else mentioned, which will be faster on embedded and may be faster on fatter chips. Alternatively, you can halve the word size and use the top half as the carry.

If addc is not available, you can test for overflows as follows:

uint32_t a = ..., b = ...;
uint32_t res = a + b;
uint32_t carry = res < a;

On overflow, res must necessarily be less than both a and b, so no need to check b.

If SIMD instructions are available, that will almost always be the fastest choice by far. While it doesn't change the above guidelines in principle, there are often e.g. optimized overflow mechanisms.
Story points are in fact time, and I'm tired of pretending they're not.

You can sugar coat it all you want and say they represent complexity, but at the end of the day(or sprint), the higher the complexity, the more time it takes to complete.
It has a bear in it, so probably.
> And yes, that's not negotiable.

This is also why I'm very skeptical of modern progressivism. It's not like people became more aware, because they still have a set of beliefs they don't question, it's just that those beliefs changed. Which means that they might, and probably will, change again in the future. If it took 60 years to go from "racism is best" to "racism is the worst" without any fundamental change to how we create our social norms, then it's not outrageous to claim that within another 60 years we might go back to "racism is best".

The article lost me at a certain point, somewhere around the "solving the conondrum".

It lost me, because we have two estimations - an overall size guess of an epic and an actual implementation estimation of an epic. Like the overall size guess is just 2-3 seniors looking at an issue and wondering if this takes days, weeks, months or years to implement.

The actual implementation discussion is however what the article is talking about. We get most or all of the team into a meeting and we talk through what needs to be done, and structure all of that into individual concrete tasks everyone can have an idea of implementing them. And then we estimate those tasks.

And this estimation in turn is communication to management. Like, we've realized that about 21 is what one of us can do in a usual monthly iteration outside of massive outages and such (we're an operational team). So if an epic turns out to require some 3 21's and 3 13's... that can easily take 6-12 months unless we put exceptional focus on it. With high focus... as a team of 4-5, that will still take 3-6 months to do.

On the other hand, something that falls into a bunch of 5's and 9's and such tends to be muddled and struggled through regardless of whatever crap happens in the team much more reliably. It needs smaller chunks of overall attention to get done.

And note that this communication is not deadlines. This is more of a bottom-up estimation of how much more or less uninterrupted engineering time it takes to do something. A 21 in our place by now means that other teams have to explicitly make room for the assigned person to have enough headspace to do that. Throw two interruptions at them and that task won't happen.

It's more bin-packing than adding, tbh.
I think what you say is true when comparing transformers to CNNs/RNNs, but not to MLPs.

Transformers, RNNs, and CNNs are all techniques to reduce parameter count compared to a pure-MLP model. If you took a transformer model and replaced each self-attention layer with a linear layer+activation function, you'd have a pure MLP model that can model every relationship the transformer does, but can model more possible relationships as well (but at the cost of tons more parameters). MLPs are more powerful/scalable but transformers are more efficient.

Compared to MLPs, transformers save on parameter count by skimping on the number of parameters devoted to modeling the relationship between tokens. This works in language modeling, where relationships between tokens isn't that important - you can jumble up the words in this sentence and it still mostly makes sense. This doesn't work in time series, where relationships between tokens (timesteps) is the most important thing of all. The LTSF paper linked in the OP paper also mentions this same problem: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.13504 (see section 1)
> This is a reasonable idea, but it seems like you want to focus on embedded use cases, not client/server,

Not sure how I was unclear (sorry if I was), my take was basically "I want PostgreSQL[-like] engine that can work in embedded and client-server mode depending on project" really. I want more choice than we have right now, that is my wish.

> and this sounds like something that would be best implemented as a third solution entirely, not a fork of either SQLite or Postgres

I don't see why. Technically there are hurdles, sure, but there always are anyway -- I believe in the case of both SQLite and PostgreSQL it's either lack of resources or lack of motivation to go outside their niche. Whatever the case I am not judging them, it's their project and I am just a rando who wants to work less on their storage / validation layer.

But yeah, I don't see why must we get a 3rd player necessarily. You might still turn out to be correct, mind you, I am just saying that it's not necessarily the case that this DB engine (that will have both embedded and client-server modes) must be a separate project.

I love SQLite but I always end up having to write a lot of validation and at one point you do ask yourself whether your energy should not go somewhere else.

Time will tell, I suppose.
Great info. Do you also know the state of the code assistants? Any thoughts on copilot versus others?
The study looks at "education, social security and medicare." The authors "calculate the net present value for each program and each birth cohort as the differencew between the lifetime discounted, survival-weighted benefits and the discounted, surival-weighted tax payments."

They find that "a typical elderly person of today was born seventy years ago, in 1934, and experienced a net loss of about one percent of life time earnings," inasmuch as they likely didn't get any public education but paid for plenty of it, "while a baby born today is projected to realize a net gain of 5%!" They also find that "every single generation alive today, even those just born, would gain from raising taxes! Those who would gain the most are the generations between age 20 and 60 in 2004...these gains come at a great loss to later generations, with those born in 2090 losing 12% of their life time earnings relative to the benefit-cut option, and with proportionate losses continuing to grow rapidly thereafter."

Potently, "for generations born after 2052, the NPVs turn increasingly negative, with no end in sight to the trend." Of course, there is more to the tax code than those three items. But they're the big intergernational ones. (They "assume that education was paid for by property taxes," which might explain why the word "college" or "student loans" doesn't appear in the text once.)
