True. You also need a group that knows what they're doing and is trying to be cutthroat. Then the whole table is trying to trade for color sets and dissuade others from trading for color sets, which often leads to this absurd mass negotiation where people are just throwing away massive amounts of money and property in order to not be shut out. Sometimes you end up bribing another player just to keep them from undercutting a deal, or you work with that player and cut out the original person you both were haggling with, at which point they're trying to bribe another player to intervene.

As long as you're using the correct rules and everyone is playing the game fast, they know what they're doing, and they're competitive, the game can be quite fun. It's also a lot less time intensive than many other board games where lots of people are negotiating.
Hard disks are great storage mediums when we don't purposely set fire to them to preserve the profits of large corporations. The Internet Archive is perfectly capable of preserving things, unless copyright holders manage to shut them down for short-term profit.

YAY!! Thank you! I feel like there is "so much Prolog" that is not really widely known about, it's not like it's burning up the blogosphere unfortunately. I had no idea the ILP methods in the Bratko book were already so dated. Are these Prolog specific conferences you go to or general ML ones...? Where do all the cool kids hang out??
This comparison is silly. First of all, Cisco's scale was assembled through acquisitions, and hardware is a commodity business. Nvidia has largely grown organically and has CUDA software as a unique differentiator.

More importantly, Cisco's margins and PE were much higher than Nvidia's today.

You should use actual financial measures and not GDP national accounts which have zero bearing on business valuation.

So this is what confuses me. You can look at the most recent results. There were 14578 male finishers in the most recent Boston Marathon. 7000th place was 3:29:24. 14000th place was 5:29:37.

How do these runners get into the race if they needed to go 3:03:00 (or whatever the current number is) to qualify? I'm clearly missing some piece of important information!

I trust it in new places for the same reason.

After I moved here and learned the system, I realised it had on my first trip directed me through a series of unnecessary train routes for a 5 minute walk.

Last summer, when trying to find a specific named cafe a friend was at, Google Maps tried to have me walk 5 minutes to the train station behind me to catch the train to the stop in front of me to walk back to… the other side of the street because I hadn't recognised the sign.

It's a great tool, fantastic even, but it still doesn't beat local knowledge. And very occasionally, invisibly unless you hit the edge, the map isn't correctly joined at the nodes and you can spot the mistake even as a first time visitor.

Yeah, I came here to say this. Hard to comprehend how someone could have a comms role at Intuit and not know basic principles like this. Only plausible explanation is that the CEO insisted on taking this approach even after the very likely Streisand effect outcome was explained.

They wouldn't have the assignment specific fingerprinting in the ChatGPT output.
I can understand this, I'd probably describe the effect as being "more awake" if I do a crossword puzzle AND a walk in the morning, vs one or the other. I really can't quantify that at all, and I think this study had a bit of trouble doing the same (using results from 1 cognitive test across a pretty small cohort), but it does feel real.
People on the margins distrust authority, see themselves as knowing better, and resent the “mainstream” system for different reasons.

Think of the folks who think RFK Jr is some sort of breath of fresh air. Or the people into Gwyneth Paltrow faux “wellness” nonsense and homeopathy.

On the more reactionary side, you have people who idolize the cowboy myth, the 1950s, or interpret freedom as meaning “I don’t pay taxes”.

It’s the same psychological feature, realized through different perceptions.
I think the main difference is that when I learned IPv4, pure-v4 was sufficient. Today, you can't run a pure-v6 network; you have to deal with both. The closest you can get is NAT64, which 1. doesn't always work, and 2. is still annoying to manage. (Which sucks, because doing just v6 would be nice)
> The industry's approach is fundamentally wrong, making 20 solutions to a problem with plenty of room to standardize a proper approach [...]. But an LLM isn't going to fix that cultural issue and will suffer from it.

LLM-powered development may push the industry towards standardization. "Oh, CoPilot cannot generate proper code for your SDK/API/service? Sorry, all my developers use CoPilot, so we will not integrate with your SDK/API/service until you provide better, CoPilot-friendly docs and examples."
People in my school were constantly pranking each other with this type of content, so everyone even people who weren't seeking it out, were exposed to that. I assume everyone knew what 2 girls 1 cup is, and if you ask around my age right now, most people will know it from around secondary school. And at least most guys knew about the pain olympics.

Not really executions though, luckily.

> Bill likely misspoke or was talking about control error.

Mixing up control errors with absolute errors is a very common form of miscommunication in robotics.

I work with relatively big robots and often my colleagues would say something like this "During the test we had 0.5m cross track error, so we did X, Y, Z ...".

And I always ask them for clarification. Were they looking at the robot and seeing that it is half a meter off where it should be, or were they looking at a screen and seeing that the robot thinks it is half a meter off from where it wants to be? Because those are two very different situations. And both can be described with the same words. (And sometimes it can be both, or just one of them.)
> They’re conceptually simple, but you soon realize that you need at least a couple of 24/7 always on boxes and that you only really should use Cloud Run-like services for burstable workloads.

This is simply not true and Cloud Run-like services offer an easy path for progressive scaling.

1. You can scale it to 0 at the outset as you build your app

2. You can set it to scale to a minimum of n instances (e.g. minimum 1, 2) to have fast response times

3. If you find a need for a 24x7 instance, take the same container image and you can launch a Compute Engine instance with the container directly and scale that way.

4. If you need more control beyond that, move those containers into GKE Autopilot or full GKE or your container orchestrator of choice.

Not only is it easy and free to get started, it provides a straightforward path to adapting the underlying deployment and compute model based on needs as the app scales without the need to pay anything until you actually need 24x7 compute (and even then, it's a matter of setting your Cloud Run service to min=1 instances to get 24x7 compute or configuring a CE instance with the same exact container).
Seems like a non pessimistic idea of something LLMs could help us out with. Mass analysis of old texts for new finds like this. If this one exists surely there are many more just a mass analysis away
Agreed, and I think it's important to note that paper doesn't have any sort of DRM encumbrance on it. I seriously think that at some point in the next few decades, the "pirates" who right now are hated and prosecuted vigorously by all the "rightsholders" may turn out to be venerable heroes for having preserved the creations.

Imagine if we had found Bram Stokers work, and it was also encrypted mumbo jumbo that is now useless to us. We'll likely never know what we lost.
Since this was at LA Unified, I suspect the bar for passing is extremely low. Not commenting on that district specifically, but not graduating from High School on time takes some doing. The system is very good at moving kids through, and it's why a high school diploma means so little.
Maybe. My personal suspicion (lacking definitive evidence) is that the TVs aren't 'loss leaders' in the sense the vendors are actually loosing money on each one sold (accounting shenanigans notwithstanding). It's just that the viewers are so used to ads invading every possible place within eyeball range, why wouldn't you take advantage. More to the OP Q: Why spend a single penny improving the viewer experience, when that's not where such a nice bump in revenue is coming from. Once the TV is sold, the viewer isn't paying you any more until the next TV purchase, so screw'em.
It's amusing how much discussion this provoked. Does anyone here actually run? There is plenty you have to decide whether to sacrifice or not and consequences of that. He's talking about a margin of 34 seconds over the course of nearly 3 hours.

I enjoy the fuck out of running and don't even compete, but it's still something you think about all the time. What sacrifices do I make and which do I not? I'll give you examples. I wake up between 3 to 4 AM every morning to run. I enjoy it. I'm a natural morning person. This isn't some CEO grindset. But it entails not being to do other things that involve staying up late or going out. That's fine for where I am in my life right now. I doubt I'd have done it in my early 20s when I had more of a night-oriented social life.

I prepare all my own food and weigh and measure everything I eat. I also weigh myself each morning. This allows me to enter everything into a logging app that estimates TDEE and gives you a target. I can't say for sure this is absolutely necessary, but I don't do it universally 100% of the time, and when I'm home I tend to gradually lose a bit of weight because I'm not eating enough. When I'm traveling and eating out, I tend to gradually gain a bit of weight. So it seems that sticking to the strict tracking as often as I can is the best way to go. I enjoy this as well. I have no problem with it. But it means I don't eat out much and prepare everything from raw ingredients so the estimates are actually accurate. That sacrifices convenience.

There are other sports I enjoy. I lift weight. I rock climb. I surf and skateboard. Every minute spent training to run is a minute I could spent training for another sport. In the lifting case, at a high enough volume aerobic training and trying to gain muscle pretty directly conflict with each other. It's not realistic to expect any particularly high volume of leg work in particular. I'm sacrificing squat performance for sure to be better at running.

What am I not sacrificing? Well, I still travel. I still go off script for a few weeks here and there. I don't try to stick to either a diet plan or a training plan when on vacation. I still run and eat reasonably good foods, but I have no doubt I'd perform better if I never let up at all. To me, this isn't worth it. But if I cared badly about qualifying for a world major and was 34 seconds off, maybe I would.

Nobody is saying you need to sacrifice joy or fun. But you have finite hours in the day and your body has a finite capacity for recovery and training adaptation. Every bit of effort you devote to running is a bit that could have been something else.

> the hint of communism lead to US backed coup in Brazil

No, the unfounded fear of communism did. All that was happening in Brazil were wildly popular base reforms around worker's rights, land reform and other very needed changes. Nothing that hasn't already happened in most wealthy democracies.

> I don’t follow your point about comparison to revolution.

You replied to jltsiren's comment by saying:

This is totally false. (...) the communists were winning elections left and right until the CIA installed an anti communist dictator. (...) The CIA has taken major direct action to suppress popular communism across the world

I apologise if I misinterpreted it, but it seemed like you were saying that:

* The CIA suppressed successful communist revolutions

* The CIA has done that by installing anti-communist dictators

* These coups happened in countries where communists were winning elections

Points 1 and 3 are contradictory. A revolution happens when the status quo regime is toppled and replaced with a different one. Communist parties getting to power via elections means they are working within the existing regime.

Both cannot be true.
The aquatic version of inchworm-style mobility
This would not happen as often if professors had time to read, instead of being under pressure to write. The only external incentive to read is so that you won't be turned down for lack of novelty, and relative to that metric a paper the field does not remember is better left nonexistent, and forgetting is as good as creating a future discovery.

In an environment where the only effect of going around popularizing information from the previous decade is interfering with other people's careers, it is no wonder that it does not happen. How did we end up with an academic system functioning as the only institution in the world with a reward for ignorance?
Did you ask for a refund? If you were refused, you can proceed with a chargeback procedure with your bank.
That is SUCH a good book but I find it sad that there aren't more books like it that follows up on that period or go into more details. I would love to read about the campaigns of Sobutai more, etc.

If anyone else know of similar books about the Mongols, I would love to check them out.

Thanks in advance!
I wonder how much of a problem crosswinds are. Not a lot of mass, and that big can has a lot of sail area.
Perhaps, but I'm not at all convinced. The hard problems of running distributed peer-to-peer services are not end-to-end connectivity. While that is a problem, it's a relatively small hurdle; you can connect the vast majority of clients with some not huge effort.

The much bigger problems are related to moderation, copyright enforcement, spam prevention, security. All of those are extremely hard if you don't have a centralized authority server.

Could Zoom have better quality more cheaply if it could easily do P2P connections for small meetings? Very likely. Could you make a fully distributed Zoom where anyone can call anyone else without a centralized authority server handling all calls? No, not without significant legal hurdles and effort on preventing malicious actors from spamming the network, from distributing illegal content, etc.

Also, back to middleboxes: not having NAT would not get rid of middleboxes. Even on IPv6, there will always be a stateful firewall blocking all outside connections to the internal network in any sane deployment, at least for home networks. And that firewall will probably be about as buggy as cheap NAT boxes are. And for corporate networks, you have all sorts of other middlemen critical to the security of the network, I clouding IDS and IPS systems, TLS listeners to protect from data e filtration etc. Those will interfere with your traffic far more than relatively regular NAT boxes would.
Despite what that SNL sketch says, Imperial isn't *completely* insane
Thanks! So, I didn't consider performances at all, as it's not the goal of the project, but it would be interesting to have a look. Good idea!
The fact that it's even remotely useful at all at such an early, primitive stage of development should give you pause.

When it comes to stuff like this, the state of the art at any given time is irrelevant. Only the first couple of time derivatives matter. How much room for growth do you have over the next 5-10 years?

Long (or short—screw long division, with its transcription error opportunities and huge amounts of paper-space used) division is a good exercise to cement the notion of place value, that happens to also teach you how to divide by hand for when it's occasionally more convenient than finding a phone/computer/calculator.
New largest prime number discovered using Nvidia "cloud supercomputer"

I meant inside the walls. If it’s a bit below freezing outside (quite common in California!) and 75 degrees and a bit humid in the kitchen (also common), and an old wall that leaks air at the top and bottom separates these spaces and has had fiberglass batts installed, poorly, in the name of “weatherization”, then that nice humid air can flow within the wall by convection and moisture can condense out in the chillier bits of fiberglass. In some conditions, it won’t dry and will get moldy.

Of course, this can happen in an exterior wall, too, but contractors usually put at least some effort into competent construction in exterior walls.
Maybe if the rocket knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.

That is what they told us in missile maintenance school.

And gyros have gotten a lot better. Especially if you're throwing money at the issue like you know those folks are.
Sure, it could handle that case. You'd have to write a `withSwappableLogger` function which produces a logger that listens for updates telling it where to log to in future.
Well, I don't exactly know your scope but I was doing stuff the other day with sqlite and using it on a single thread while having a multi-thread webserver. My solution was to have a wrapper that's "multithreaded" and it'd just accept a `FnMut(transaction) -> Result<T,DbError> + Send + Sync + static` and queue them internally so they ran one at a time. Since all the lambdas are "hardcoded" (like the rest of my source code) the static requirement isn't a big deal.

My main problem with it is that I ended up de/serializing T across the FnMut boundary. But given that the FnMut knows what T is it seems like there should be some way to use unsafe and pointers to remove the serialization if it's ever a performance problem.
Sure, but that is not my key point here.

You're focussing on the detail while ignoring the general picture.

I am not comparing Lisp to Mandarin Chinese or something. That would be silly.

What I am saying is that there are a whole bunch of languages (both kinds) which presumably seem perfectly easy to those who grew up with them, but if you didn't and you come to them after learning something else that's much simpler and doesn't do the fancy stuff, then they seem really hard. Consistently, for lots of people, regardless of background.

Doesn't matter how good your Arabic, Mandarin will be hard, and vice versa.

That list isn't sorted by your source language, your L1. That doesn't matter.

If they come from an infix-notation imperative language then most people are going to find moving to an impurely-functional prefix-notation one is really hard. And most languages are infix-notation imperative languages.

The linked article shows a picture of the debris. Just amazing that we can do this for tiny objects that 35,000 km away from us, but apparently it's something that can even be done by amateurs: it's 'just' a matter of keeping the exposure time long enough.

Here's an article about that: https://skyandtelescope.org/observing/how-to-see-and-photogr...

There are commercial services that keep visual track of geostationary satellites. A couple of years ago, IIRC, a Russian satellite broke down and there were pictures of the disintegration.
I think this is a well trodden bit of thought—but I wonder if we've explored the other side of the coin enough. All that bureaucracy must have been created for some reason, and that inertia that it creates might somehow contribute to the big company's longevity?
NO. Waymo cars are never remote-controlled. Remote controlling cars in traffic is too dangerous do to latency severely limited. What Waymo does is have operators provide hints. At no time is the autonomous system ever disabled. Just another example of how much better engineered Waymo is than Tesla's FSD scam.

You can solve the CodeCrafters challenges in many languages, and Go is one of them, yes. Not sure if there are books or blog posts about it though. Through the CodeCrafters portal you can access the code of other people and the related repositories, however, so that can help.
Once you're talking "work for equity instead of pay", you're not talking about employment anymore, you're talking about soliciting investors.

A decision about whether or not to make an investment (and this would be a particularly large investment) is necessarily dependent on very different factors than a decision on whether or not to work for an outfit.

To be attractive, your solicitation for investors needs to come from that perspective, in my opinion.
Education still in the "denial" phase of LLM. Teachers use it, students use it, neither are willing to admit they use it. After a couple of years, maybe reality will take hold and there will be education specific LLM tools. There probably is now, but adoption will be slow.
