> A resident of Nagasaki, Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 AM, on 6 August 1945. He returned to Nagasaki the following day and, despite his wounds, returned to work on 9 August, the day of the second atomic bombing. That morning, while he was being told by his supervisor that he was "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated.
I think it makes good politics.

If you’re invisible I think there’s a tendency to wonder where you are and what you’re doing.

Showing up literally in meetings I think makes people feel you’re there.

Camera off you may as well not be there.
A good CS course isn't really about programming in that sense. A CS degree is to programming what a maths degree is to, say, statistics methods, or at least it should be. You are expected to learn the “hum-drum details”¹ yourself (perhaps with guidance of course) or already know some of them, with the course exploring wider or deeper concepts (the why, wherefore, and therefore, of those details).

Your maths degree probably did as much as a CS degree would have done (expanding your ability to learn, analyse & problem solve, etc.) allowing you to learn the technical details of programming on your own. CS was essentially birthed from a branch or two of mathematics, after all!

People who want/need a programming course (which is perfectly valid, I don't mean to denigrate the position in the slightest) are probably not best served by a traditional CS degree.

[1] “hum-drum” sounds a bit too negative for what I was intending, but my brain isn't firing on all cylinders this morning and I can't think of a better term for what I was thinking there!

You might want to consider a little more carefully before putting money down. There is no economics Nobel Prize.
In an MoE model such as this, are all "parts" loaded in Memory at the same time, or at any given time only one part is loaded? For example, does Mixtral-8x7B have the memory requirement of a 7B model, or a 56B model?
The ability to do unordered operations on shared memory is important in general to write performant multithreaded code. On x86, which is very close to sequentially consistent by default (it has something called TSO, not SC), there is less of a delta. But the world seems to be moving towards architectures with weaker memory models, in particular ARM, where the performance difference between ordinary operations and sequentially consistent operations is much larger.

For example, if you're protecting the internal state of some data structure with a mutex, the mutex lock and unlock operations are what ensures ordering and visibility of your memory writes. In the critical section, you don't need to do atomic, sequentially consistent accesses. Doing so has no additional safety and only introduces performance overhead, which can be significant on certain architectures.
I think that your niece is absolutely right about this.
> No, it isn't and I see no way to test for "qualia"

You are verifying the existence of qualia every instant of your existence. It's the most immediately apparent empirical fact conceivable, since it is sensory experience itself, and you are testing its presence by the mere fact of being alive (philosophical zombies [0] notwithstanding).

It will depend on the level of competition in the launch market. If there's another reusable launcher (Blue Origin, say) then SpaceX will be constrained to not mark up the price too much and prices will be closer to costs, and anyone will be able to benefit from the cost reduction that allows large projects like this.

I personally lean to yes, but that's more about what people do with the results than the results themselves.

Here's an infamous example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment#Validity

Honestly after reading that it seems impossible to really conclude anything...as it's just full of conflicting results...is that innately fraud? No but certainly careers/$ have been made from biased/agenda-driven interpretations which seems fraudulent.
I think we're mostly in agreement. It was a strategic move and it might have helped a lot letting Japan get back on its feet. And it's also the move that left the deep deep nationalism in place and it's still here today.

Perhaps there was no way to have one without the other, but at least I want to look at it as a series of cause and consequences.

Oh, and on the overreaction part, do you know that Las Vegas, one of the best places in the US to put high quality public transportation towards its "central business district", is instead going to build a "tunnel for single occupant Teslas".

Personally, I find the "tax dodger" talk to be unhelpful.

When I was contracting HMRC would not give me a hard list of rules to follow even if I wanted to.

For example if you deliver some piece of code and the customer asks you to provide support for it, is that inside or outside?

The initial software is a deliverable and so within your control.

Support though is usually based on time and issues that the customer brings to you. That could be said to be out of your control.

So is the contract inside or outside? You and your accountant can only guess.

That wizard you mention only gives guidance, it does not provide a legal answer.

Plus HMRC can and do retrospectively change the rules to reopen accounts years after they were originally accepted.

There's no finality there and the longer you run your business the bigger risk.

At the time I couldn't find a suitable insurance service to cover that risk. I believe there are now finally IR35 cover products but it worried me enough that I just closed my contracting business down.

I can only assume that as HMRC were happy with that winding down that I was not a "tax dodger" all along.
Your theory about EU intentionally destroying cultural identities, isn’t supported by any document published by the EU or any conference transcripts. No EU official has ever described this to be the goal. I’ve only heard about it in far right media. So as a matter of fact, it is far right propaganda.

If you want real cultural identities, build a time machine and travel back before airplanes, the internet and neoliberal finance rendered cultural divisions in western countries obsolete.
Scale in a sense where you can scale that one part of system independently when it is micro service.

You still can run into situation where adding a network call is small overhead over the optimization available where it has its own datababase running on its own VM where you can add more resources just for that specific thing.

Maybe you can rewrite that part in a language that fits use case better for only that service.
Authentication with Danish services tends to rely on MitID ("my ID"): https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/about-mitid/

It seems MitID isn't mentioned in The Copenhagen Book: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Athecopenhagenbook.com...

Iceland and the Faroes follow the same one-for-all approach: https://www.audkenni.is/, https://www.samleikin.fo/.

So, it's maybe not too much of a stretch to say that "a Copenhagen way" to authenticate is to integrate with MitID, either through a certified broker or by becoming one: https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/broker/broker-certification/

> You might as well recoup as much money as you can on it.

Depending on how fast their value depreciates, selling them might recoup more money then renting them away. And being exposed to 3y of various risks.

Selling now at a 40% loss gets you back the equivalent of 60c/h over three years, and without having other costs (DC, power, network, security) and risks.
If you know today that 5% of your projects have an “infinite downside” (i.e. an “unknown amount of time and resources”) you need to fix your contract to cap that to a reasonable amount.

With autonomy you do not need a one-fit-all vehicle that support many different use cases.

Instead you have access to a fleet of specialized vehicles that are optimized for different tasks. Eg many trips might still be with only one or two passangers, and then a small two seater makes a lot of sense. If you need larger capacity you simple order a ride from a suitable vehicle class.

IDK it just seems weird to me how completely unimaginative the Cybertaxi is. Its ostensibly a revolution in transportation but everything about the form and function is essentially identical to an unpainted 2011 Honda CR-Z. It makes zero effort to imagine how a driverless car could be different or better in fundamental ways, which makes the Cybertaxi just another small incremental step in the decade long procession of broken self driving promises from Elon.

Why is this a two-seater? A sedan with no driver can easier fit 5 people. Building one for only two is.. why? There are also no steering controls, this this vehicle can't ever be dual-purpose. Even something where steering/gas could be removable attachments, would be better. Allowing a possibility of being driven by a driver should the need arise.

But really? A two-seater?

>Whats the point unless you live in a swing state?

The game theory strategy in the electoral college is to register and vote as the non-dominant party in any election. If enough people follow this strategy, the locality becomes a swing state and the party platform and candidates will reflect their interests.

>Also why give the government any ammunition to legitimize their existence in the first place.

Until the government collapses, they still control the monopoly on violence. Unless you're a radical pacifist and willing to be the sacrificial lamb, there is a pretty clear need to participate to the extent that the wolf of government doesn't eat you. The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse people.
In which distribution? Like school math or competition or unsolved problems? FWIW I think one and three and probably easier to generated as synethetically. It's harder to bound the difficulty but I think the recent David silver talk implies it doesn't matter much.

Oh, but this is not how meritocracy is ever viewed in a liberal democracy. Equality of opportunity is the defence on an unequal society.

"Let's think through this step-by-step:

1. Alice has 3 brothers
2. Alice has 2 sisters
3. We need to find out how many sisters Alice's brother has

The key here is to realize that Alice's brothers would have the same sisters as Alice, except they would also count Alice as their sister.

So, Alice's brothers would have:
- The 2 sisters Alice has
- Plus Alice herself as a sister

Therefore, Alice's brothers have 3 sisters in total."

I really like elixir, but I don't think i like live view.

Handling events by writing functions that need to match unchecked strings feels _super_ clumsy to me.

I know elixir processes are very very cheap, but I still don't like the idea of maintaining a stateful connection for each live view page, especially with the lack of typing.

Jumping between my markup and the 10s of different handlers in my live view is annoying too. I like the locality of behavior principal a lot.

Again, I really like elixir, but untyped languages kind of suck for dealing with the string based world of web frontends. That's why so many javascript shops take on the complexity of typescript.

That makes the whole conclusion obviously false.

I don't really understand why, but I think we are going to see total denial from a significant percentage of the population all the way up to and past the point where many average mathematicians and software engineers cannot in any way compete with AI.

We already are reportedly getting pretty close with o1 (not o1-preview).

There are also new paradigms for machine learning and hardware in the pipeline that will continue to provide orders of magnitude performance gains and new capabilities in the next 5-10 years.

Many people still claim that "self driving cars don't exist", in so many words, even though they are deployed in multiple cities.
This is why I'll always buy cheap used cars - they already have a history of running. All they need is intensive oil changes and occasional part replacement for a couple years before I move onto my next used car.

I avoid all the whizbang rent seeking bullshit just by driving horrible old cars.

I really hope someone makes a conversion kit for the computer in these cars. It would suck to be out on a new car, and just have a brick sitting in your driveway.

Good points, though I agree with sibling that higher occupancy is not the goal; higher performance is the goal. Since registers are such a precious resource, you often want to set your block size and occupancy to whatever is best for keeping active state in registers. If you push the occupancy higher, then the compiler might be forced to spill registers to VRAM, that that will just slow everything down even though the occupancy goes up.

Another thing to maybe mention, re: “if your GPU has 60 SMs, and each block uses one SM, you can only run 60 blocks in parallel”… CUDA tends to want to have at least 3 or 4 blocks per SM so it can round-robin them as soon as one stalls on a memory load or sync or something else. You might only make forward progress on 60 separate blocks in any given cycle, but it’s quite important that you have like, for example, 240 blocks running in “parallel”, so you can benefit from latency hiding. This is where a lot of additional performance comes from, doing work on one block while another is momentarily stuck.

You can blame ARM for the popularity of CUDA. At least x86 had a few passable vector ISA ops like SSE and AVX - the ARM spec only supports the piss-slow NEON in it's stead. Since you're not going to unify vectors and mobile hardware anytime soon, the majority of people are overjoyed to pay for CUDA hardware where GPGPU compute is taken seriously.

There were also attempts like OpenCL, that the industry rejected early-on because they thought they'd never need a CUDA alternative. Nvidia's success is mostly built on the ignorance of their competition - if Nvidia was allowed to buy ARM then they could guarantee the two specs never overlap.

With OpenAI and other LLMs, web development is accelerating. For example, I put together a AI call center demo ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv7mI_qRrhE ) by using Open AI o1-preview. There I could take a lot of different files on typescript and backend server stuff written in python. I would add logs into the mix to make one massive prompt, and then I would let the AI work on reasoning in the cases where I needed to accelerate the writing of additional code.
