Would you also tell him "you just need to work on your self esteem for massive benefits!!"? Sorry, but society doesn't work that way.

which if he's correct, would probably improve his life to some extent.

I would tell him to work on himself physically, mentally, and socially. Just like I said in my previous post: even if you give a loser good hair, he will still be a loser. I don’t think his life would improve at all.

He may get some fake self-confidence (take away the hair and the confidence is gone again). But women would not find him attractive because of the hair but because of the confidence, but they’d snuff out that it’s fake very quickly. He can have confidence without hair as well, and have the same benefits. In fact bald men exhume vast amounts of confidence for saying “fuck it, I don’t care, I will shave it”. Meanwhile balding men look like they can’t come to terms with what’s gone being gone, desperately holding on to the last sickly strands of hair because they think that’s their ticket to getting a partner.
Even women who make bald jokes will find a man sexy and manly for reacting to it confidently.

You speak about baldness as if it was some festering disease that’s always negative, but it’s not. Physical attractiveness is based on looking healthy. If you’re Quasimodo: fat or scrawny, have no muscle and a zombie face (no energy), a woman might ask herself how a cancer patient is going to have a healthy baby with her and provide for the family. But if you have some muscle, some tan and look rested, they will assume it’s natural.

And like there are hairstyles some people can or can’t pull off, a bald head or buzzcut are the same. Some people genuinely look the best without hair, because of their head shape. I don’t think The Rock would take a hair pill, because he looked silly with hair. And even if you look bad without hair, it will always beat the balding look by far.

What I mean by psychological issue is that it’s rather evident that the parent loves to focus on things he can’t control rather than what he can. This a common pattern. People will blame their erectile dysfunction on age, genes, and microplastics, rather than not doing any exercise at all since they became adults, stress, bad sleep and garbage nutrition So they take a pill, have surgery or buy devices like pumps to fix the problem, like we also see for balding.
The Path to General-Purpose Robots – Coatue
For serial entrepreneurs it's very easy to raise funds from VCs without any validation, also they're not as hungry as first-timers.

So, given everything else is equal, I would chose the one with the non-serial founders.

But usually not everything will be equal, so:

1. evaluate the idea/product for its TAM and commercial/exit potential

2. what is the run rate of the company: raised funds / burn rate per month

3. serial founders or first-timers?

4. are you passionate about this space?

5. would you like working with these people?

6. are you happy with the compensation (i.e. equity/salary split)?

If it's a B2B or B2D startup, it might benefit from YC, as YC alumni startups might be early customers. The VCs may also ask their portfolio companies to evaluate your product, but IMO it's much more effective in YC case.

We all know there's not much money left. And politically speaking, Labour needs to give the north of england a fair deal on infrastructure spending, to shore up wavering support in red wall seats.

HS2 is an exciting project that a lot of work has already been done on, it'd be totally cool if it did go ahead - but I'm not holding my breath.
The position inside the kernel played a big part in making the incident worse and this part is mentioned in the article. Questioning the need for putting software there and what we could change on the technical side should be part of the discussion.
The relevant comparison isn’t to people who think we are “more than physical structures”. It is to people who are a bit humbled by the complexity of the world and how when you seem to learn something new about it, ten more questions pop up. Which must be a forced attitude that some scientists have.

Contrast that with the arrogance of creating a neural network in your garage and thinking to yourself: “well I guess as a side-effect of this all of existence makes sense now.”
thats not a miscalculation. these miscalculations are precursors for fast track productions and deliveries, which makes two things possible:

a) the shortage creates a dire straits scenario, a crisis, an imminent combat ineffectiveness but then the fast track deliveries from the saviors arrive ... and ding ding goes the bell, next rounds' on us

b) lords of war get to smuggle loads of stuff into the middle east et al. In a war torn country, especially the most corrupt country on the continent, nobody can expect proper order in logistics and stuff, "fuck your checks, our men are about to get fucked by Ted the fucking Teddy Bear that Matt Wahlberg made a movie with. They need Ammo!", an obviously American man in his thirties said, trying really hard to fake a Ukrainian accent(?) ...

oh, and higher costs of course, paid by NATO, with promises and commitments from the Ukrainian side, who are of course, eternally grateful

Borrowing Matt's words from our reddit thread:

It means that we can spin up a single model server and use it for multiple people, effectively splitting the cost. Whereas if you try to rent the GPUs yourself on something like Runpod, you'll end up paying much more since you're the only person using the model.

Noise regulations are not just too lenient in most places, but they are also not enforced. It is also hard to enforce even if a city wants to because a lot of noises are intermittent. But mining facilities like this should be shut down because they have a continuous buzzing. Owners should be given retroactive fines.

He will certainly nuke Dresden first. Because he used to live there.

Also, the relevant NATO simulations start with the first nukes arriving from Kaliningrad (Königsberg) to North Dresden. Warsaw is a bit later in this game. In the end all is down.

Britain is not a tiny island. its the ninth largest in the word and is a lot bigger than Java (population of 156m BTW) and is only a little smaller than Honshu.

The cities of the north are not dying. Some are doing badly, some are doing well. its not a given that what they need most is better links to London- better links between northern cities might do more.
None of that relates to what I said though. Physicalists do continue to do research of the natural world, in fact, that is actually what drives them more toward physicalism! I think you are arguing a strawman, since no one said anything about being arrogant.
These are restrictions of the target language and there isn't much pnut can do about this.
Interesting; as a non-diabetic, there are lots of (nice) things I don't eat regularly (pretty rarely in reality) for general health reasons. Hash browns aren't a particular thing for me, but they'd definitely be on my 'not regularly' list (deep fried, comparatively simple carbs, lots of salt, etc.)

Genuine question, not trying to 'gotcha': do you think your stubbornness in this regard was somehow accentuated by having T1D? Is this perhaps a recognised phenomenon amongst diabetics? (An old friend with T1D was similarly [maybe even more extremely] stubborn, being perhaps the most badly-behaved and impulsive of our friend group at that time.)
In my videography work I often do a separate audio-only interview to use as voice-over for the final video. I like to print out a transcript, mark the highlights, then go to the sound file and extract the snippets I liked. Extracting the snippets is a lot easier when I have timestamps printed out inline with the text at intervals of one or two minutes. In the case of bigWav, there were timestamps marked at only three or four points, so I had to go back and manually enter ten more marks to orient myself on the page. In addition, I used ChatGPT on an answer-by-answer basis to clean up the copy and add in punctuation for ease of reading. So there was an hour or two of data sanitizing needed to get everything ready to print out and use efficiently.
It will help, definitely! As will exercise itself etc. It is a valid argument and the doctor is right.

> The actual unwritten rule is not so much against inventions, as against having any fun.

The rules, written or not, are about trying to adjudicate a competition of people, if you want a no holds bared technology based competition nothing precludes creating a different one (or participating in one, there’s no dearth of alleycat races and other odd events like the singlespeed world championship).
vLLM is nice because you can have multiple streams. I believe the tech is called batched attention, but working from memory so I might be wrong. When scaling up inference, this feature is super key. This is the difference between 70 tokens a second and 500 tokens a second using the same compute.

My assumption is they're calling this ability multitenant.
The Adoption of ChatGPT
It’s for social validation. As in “these companies trust us, so you should too”. Yet there’s never any proof the companies are using the product or to what extent.
Its not open source. Your definition would make most video games open source - we modify them all the time. The small runtime framework IS open source but that's not much benefit as you cant really modify it hugely because the weights fix it to an implementation.
Who needs UUCP when you have MLDEV!

https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/mldev

>MLDEV

>The "ML Device" protocol is a remote file system invented for the PDP-10 MIT Incompatible Timesharing System. It may have been the very first transparent networking filesystem.

>Build:
Install libfuse-dev, then type make.

>Usage:
Create a mount point directory, and then mount an ITS file system like this:

>sudo ./mount.mldev <hostname> <mountpoint>

What are some early network file systems?

https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/13709/wha...

>I know it's always hard to define an exact first, so I'll just ask about early network file systems. To be more specific, I'm wondering about file systems that transparently present directories and files as if they were local. I don't consider FTP or similar mechanisms to be candidates.

>For some time it has been my suspicion that the ITS "MLDEV" facility was very early ("the first"), but I never had any facts to back it up. I do have a file timestamped November 1972 that gives us an upper bound for the introduction of the facility. On the MIT-AI PDP-10, it provided an ML device (hence the name) which worked much like the local DSK device except the data was accessed through MIT's ARPANET IMP. MIT-ML of course had an AI device.

>Present evidence is that ITS had a very early networked file system no later than 1972.

>ITS has had a facility called the "ML Device", or MLDEV, for a long time. The name probably comes from a time when the users of the older more established computer called AI wanted access to files on the computer called ML. The "device" part is because ITS files are named by four parts: device, directory, and two file names. To access ML files from AI, the device name is ML. Conversely, from ML the AI device is used.

>To date this facility, we can check timestamps from backup tapes. The earliest file called MLDEV is from July 1975. However, if we examine the source code for an earlier ITS version we see that it has built in ML and AI devices that when accessed starts a program called SYS; ATSIGN OTHER. Disassembling this file we can see that it indeed is accepting file operations and sends information across ARPANET. The earliest file with that name has a timestamp from November 1972.

>We know from RFC documents 342, 344, and 366 that AI and ML were first put on the ARPANET in May-June 1972. So MLDEV could not have been in use before 1972.

Is there a different angle on the research you can take that doesn't require training models of that size?

When choosing research problems it's important to not only follow what's interesting but also what's feasible given your resources. I frequently shelve research ideas because they're not feasible given my skills, time, data, resources etc

It’s endemic in the tech security industry - they’ve been mentally colonised by ex-mil and ex-law enforcement (wannabe mil) folks for a long time.

I try to use social work terms and principles in professional settings, which blows these people’s minds.

Advocacy, capacity evaluation, community engagement, cultural competencies, duty of care, ethics, evidence-based intervention, incentives, macro-, mezzo- and micro-practice, minimisation of harm, respect, self concept, self control etc etc

It means that my teams aren’t focussed on “nuking the bad guys from orbit” or whatever, but building defence in depth and indeed our own communities of practice (hah!), and using psychological and social lenses as well as tech and adversarial ones to predict, prevent and address disruptive and dangerous actors.

YMMV though.
The thread in this context refers to kernel scheduler thread[1], essentially the entity used to schedule user processes. By migrating the thread, the calling process is "suspended", it's associated kernel thread (and thus scheduled time quanta, run queue position, etc.) saves the state into Door "shuttle", picks up the server process, continues execution of the server procedure, and when the server process returns from the handler, the kernel thread picks up the Door "shuttle", restores the right client process state from it, and lets it continue - with the result of the IPC call.

This means that when you do a Door IPC call, the service routine is called immediately, not at some indefinite point in time in the future when the server process gets picked by scheduler to run and finds out an event waiting for it on select/poll kind of call. If the service handler returns fast enough, it might return even before client process' scheduler timeslice ends.

The rapid changing of TLB etc. are mitigated by hardware features in CPU that permit faster switches, something that Sun had already experience with at the time from the Spring Operating System project - from which the Doors IPC in fact came to be. Spring IPC calls were often faster than normal x86 syscalls at the time (timings just on the round trip: 20us on 486DX2 for typical syscall, 11us for sparcstation Spring IPC, >100us for Mach syscall/IPC)

EDIT:

[1] Some might remember references to 1:1 and M:N threading in the past, especially in discussions about threading support in various unices, etc.

The "1:1" originally referred to relationship between "kernel" thread and userspace thread, where kernel thread didn't mean "posix like thread in kernel" and more "the scheduler entity/concept", whether it was called process, thread, or "lightweight process"

It was a virus definition update, not a software update. CrowdStrike will obviously update their virus definition deployment pre-flight check to prevent a situation like this from happening again, but a staged roll-out is out of the question.

You could probably use Erlang (or any other BEAM language with access to OTP) as a service control system (like openrc, or systemd or similar), yeah.

But yeah, I find writing servers and other such systems with many moving parts that can be reasonably modeled as Actors passing messages between themselves in Erlang to be so, so, so enjoyable.

If you're interested in picking up the language, I'd recommend Learn You Some Erlang [0]. It's a bit out of date (for instance, it talks about "maps" as being a new thing that's being designed, but they've been in the language for ages), but it's still a really good introduction to the fundamentals of the language and its runtime system. Fred Hebert is generally a good technical writer, so taking a look through his blog is also generally recommended.

The Erlang docs are also good. The top-level directory is here [1], and you if you're not looking for desk reference docs, you might start reading at either "Getting Started" [2] or maybe "Design Principles" [3]. Learn You Some Erlang covers a fair bit of what's in those two sections, but sometimes it's helpful to see the same information written another way.

Veritasium published a great video on the topic.

It's not a technological choice, at least not at the level of camera design. It's trivial to record videos the right way; people just can't be arsed.

Suppose you implement horizontal recording while the phone is vertical; this would mean the video preview is now scaled and takes only a fraction of the screen (the same way watching horizontal video on YouTube while in "portrait mode"), which people would find annoying.

Alternatively, you could not scale the video; now the video preview displays only a vertical slice of the frame. It looks OK, but people would soon discover the actual video a screen's worth of image on each side of the preview, leading to anxiety and worry - people would have pay extra attention to not capture things that weren't intended to be on the video; they'd soon look for a way to turn this off.

The unfortunate reality is, it's a social problem partially caused by a technological one. Vertical videos are driven by the phone form-factor and because portraits and selfies actually need to be vertical, and people being people, shooting photos of themselves and other is what they care about the most.
I meet them every day of my life.

Thanks a bunch! For launch/beta, we're paying for the GPU time ourselves. :) Quoting Matt below:

"We weren't really sure how to price it, so we're using the beta period for now to figure out what mix of models people are using and trying to figure out reasonable pricing based on that, and also ironing out various bugs and sharp edges. Then we'll start charging for it; personally I'd prefer to have it be usage-based pricing rather than the monthly subscriptions that ChatGPT and Claude use, so that you can treat it more like API access for those companies and don't have to worry about message caps."

Open to feedback here! :)

Terence McKenna Was a Futuristic Genius
Terence McKenna (1946-2000) was an American ethnobotanist, mystic, psychonaut, author, and advocate for the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants. He is known for his studies and experiences with psychoactive substances, particularly psilocybin mushrooms, DMT, and ayahuasca. McKenna's work often explored the nature of consciousness, the potential of psychedelics for personal and societal transformation, and the intersection of science and mysticism. He authored several influential books, including "Food of the Gods" and "The Archaic Revival," and was known for his engaging lectures and thought-provoking ideas on human evolution, shamanism, and the future of human society.

Do front end engineers with ASP.NET, VB, React / Razor knowledge exist
Friend of mine is trying to hire for a role looking for a senior frontend engineer.

They want the following:

Skilled with ASP.NET, C#, and VB.

As well the frontend side with aspx, js, Ajax, Razor, GraphQL, React and ts.

My friend has chatted with numerous candidates and all of them with .NET experience do not do any frontend at all. Is this an impossible role to fill and needs to be two roles or just looking in the wrong places?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
