The crux is that he thinks Trump will over perform again in 2024. He doesn't think polls have corrected for the shy Trump voter.
This sounds like a good job for a fancy LLM.

I think your process is quite reasonable, and should be adopted as SOP by most. Advertising (any sponsored messaging) is a bane, it plays on conflicts of interest in trusting others' to induce you to hand resources over.
> To individuals who are in swing states and aren't registered to vote.

The $1 million lottery reward is only for people who have signed the petition and have registered to vote, so some people who signed the petition could have registered before Elon Musk started the petition and lottery.
I think there is a deeper technical truth to this that hints at how much space there is to be gained in optimization.

1) that matryoshka representations work so well, and as few as 64 dimensions account for a large majority of the performance

2) that dimensional collapse is observed. Look at your cosine similarity scores and be amazed that everything is pretty similar and despite being a -1 to 1 scale, almost nothing is ever less than 0.8 for most models

I think we’re at the infancy in this technology, even with all of the advances in recent years.
> It’s such a shame there is virtually nothing surviving from people who personally knew Alexander.

To me it's also just incredible how short his life was, and I imagine that contributes to how scarce first-hand accounts are. He started taking part in military campaigns at 16, became king at 20, and was dead by 32. The Wikipedia article about him mentions he had a historian (or more than one); it's a shame none of those accounts survived to today.

Sure, life expectancy back then was not what it was today, but he was still fairly young, and did a remarkable amount of conquering and expansion in a decade.
This sounds like the sort of feature that will show up in a "vintage software" youtube video essay in a few years. I kinda want to go find it and give it a whirl.
They were scorching HOT, had its own variant of Pentium F00F bug https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrix_coma_bug and not pipelined FPU made them suck at 3d games. Cyrix screwed by promoting PR performance metrics and initially trying to charge Intel prices, AMD was also guilty of this hilarious trying Pentium 2 pricing on highly clocked K6-2 while $100 Celerons beat those CPUs handily.

One thing I really like about software is that it can theoretically live forever.
I know bit rot is real, but with some maintenance, and even a quite small community, it can keep getting revitalized basically forever.[1]

The field is generally still young, so I look forward to good solid software just getting older and older and still working well. Makes it worth learning and internalizing.

C is in its 50s, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere (:

Part of what pains me about much modern software, with its always-online and tied-to-some-cloud-service nature, is that it tends to die. The learning you do goes to waste, when some fickle company pulls the plug in the future.

I like to build stuff that lasts, whether it's a cathedral or a bazaar, and I like to use stuff that was built in that way, too.

[1] Okay, forever is a long time. Maybe some day keyboards will be extinct, and that will make keyboard-centric software obsolete. Same could be true for screens, or even the broad architecture of computing hardware as we know it. But those changes tend to happen slowly, and there's time to adapt.

Excellent program, the only real competitor to Photoshop. I kinda liked that they were independent.
It is not a new scam. My grandmother had all of her teeth removed at about age 45 in the early 1960s to get dentures. Not all of her teeth were bad but the dentist encouraged her that removing all of the teeth was best because she didn't want to have to buy a new partial plate every time she lost another tooth.

The same dentist was offering the same to adults of any age. My mom, about age 19 at the time, was also offered it as solution to having misaligned teeth. She asked a critical question of the dentist; "Do you have dentures or are those your own teeth?" When he replied that his teeth were not dentures she "noped" right out there and still has most of her teeth to this day.
I ended up playing with just that in another thread:

Well said! There's a philosophical rift appearing in the tech community over this issue semi-neatly dividing people between naysayers, "disbelievers" and believers over this very issue.

Don't get me started on HVAC and plumbing. Two things that save me is I'm cheap and I don't mind a bit of suffering. My HVAC went out a couple of months ago. I diagnosed it like I would any other problem and settled on the blower fan probably went out. I call a place and guy comes out. He tested it and sure enough, broken fan. Now we get on the phone with his boss - they could do a new system on Monday (it was Friday) for $12-$13k or replace the fan next Friday because it would have to be ordered and would cost $1200. And to top it off, the guy on the phone said they needed to know now for their schedule.

First off I'm stubborn so pushing me is going to get them nowhere. Second, no way a standard Carrier fan was going to take a week. HVACs are made to be modular. Called my neighbor who is in the trades and has wholesale accounts all around town. Found a fan for $250, and swapped it out. Gave my neighbor a gift certificate to a nice restaurant in town as thanks for the help. If the original guy hadn't tried to push me, I would have happily paid the $1200. But, he made it so unreasonable I was like f'that. I'll go buy a window unit for the bedroom if I have to.

I had a similar thing happen with my hot water heater a few years ago. Offered a ~$4k to replace. I call around find one better than the existing one for $1100 and drop it in in all of 30 minutes. If the guy had said $2k I would have said yes on the spot.

I can only think that there are so many people who have zero clue about fixing things nowadays that they get fleeced.
I used Notepad++ to ship many projects back in my windows days. Thank you.

“supply” is controlled by government regulations. When laws state that the only housing supply can consist of single family houses, then the number of homes will be limited to the number of legal building plots.

Historically, zoning laws were established to prevent cheaper forms of housing from being built in order to keep poor people out from a region. The existence of these laws is precisely because the lawmakers recognized that more dense forms of housing would be built and lived in by poorer residents unless it was made illegal.
Alexander the Great was taught in my US high-school world history class. I was very fuzzy on the details of his life (time period, exactly where he was from and what he did), but he was Kinda a Big Deal for the world, not just ancient Greece.

> the sacred Persian mesoleucon sarapis which belonged to Pharaoh and King Alexander the Great

[italicizing added]

sacred means something religious or divine. While Alexander the Great is very famous, does or did anyone who came after consider Alexander to be divine? For example, while people very much admire Abraham Lincoln, nobody would associate Lincoln with divinity.

Another comment says that English may not be the first language of the author, so perhaps 'sacred' wasn't meant precisely. And it could be used, even by an English speaker, imprecisely (hopefully not in published research) or in an exaggerated fashion (also probably doesn't belong in published research).

Still, I find it interesting how a little overenthusiasm and subtle shift in terminology can change perceptions of someone.

EDIT: Better stated: Here is a modern historian calling the sarapis sacred. Why? Sacred to whom?
Why is this on HN? Another attempt at self promotion building another saas starter kit.

> At least many people opposed to abortion ostensibly think that it's murder. Given that framing, trying to collect evidence from hospitals seems reasonable.

Is it? I often frame abortion as murder, but even then this goes a little far. If someone travels internationally to Slovenia (or Thailand, whereever), and they rob a bank there then it is more than a bit absurd for my Attorney General to try to prosecute that bank robbery from here in Minnesota. Even if the Slovenian government declines to prosecute and people are generally worried about justice being denied... it just can't happen from here. It doesn't work.

Even that's not the end of it. A prosecutor who attempted it is merely wasting time and money, and maybe there's more than enough time (and though we shouldn't be wasteful, we're a rich country... wasting money's not as big of a deal as we might want it to be). But if it were more than a waste of time and money, if it undermined some principle or another that we should hold dear, then it becomes a big problem. General medical privacy is maybe one of those. How are we supposed to believe that it would only turn up abortion records? Maybe they're trawling for medical info so my insurance can be dropped even though my cancer's in remission.

> The way they act concerning it makes me think that relatively few really believe it.

How are they supposed to act? Like, is there a particular set of behaviors that would preserve your belief in their sincerity and their sanity? As far as they're concerned, they've lived through a half-century holocaust of baby murder, but the abortion clinic bomber was a terrorist and suggesting otherwise should have their names put on a watchlist. They're impotent to fix the greatest moral failing of their lifetime, ridiculed for even speaking out against it, and don't know how to pass their values on to their own offspring successfully.

I suspect that, given their need to cope with something that is intolerable-yet-must-be-tolerated, they've all collectively decided not to bother trying to seem sincere to those who do not agree with them.
In the quote you're calling wrong (41986010), you're interpreting "scaling up" as "scaling up, including changing architecture". Scaling up transformers just means scaling up transformers, and keeping everything else the same. In other words you're interpreting "parameter size" as "parameter size, independent of architecture", and I meant parameter size of a Transformer (in the context of with v.s. without Self-Attention).
Not only it is a rant, it shows the ignorance of the Pascal ecosystem, or the unwillingness to actually learn or make a fair point.

Otherwise getting an augmented Pascal system like plenty folks were doing shouldn't have been a big problem.

The situation with C is fully relevant, because it shows the duality of his views, in a text that is used as a kind of biblical message by many UNIX monks.

I also have used ISO Pascal, only because the university professor was religious about it on assignments, as the DG/UX Pascal compiler had enough extensions to our disposal.
Sure, that is technically correct, which as they say is the best kind of correct.

San Francisco, CA; full-time; onsite/in-person

I’m the cofounder of KREA (https://krea.ai), a startup in San Francisco building a design tool to make AI fast, controllable, and intuitive. We’re a small team (~7) and we’re looking for talented folks (https://www.krea.ai/careers) who are interested in scuffling hard technical problems with other smart people while building a useful, beautiful, and performant product that millions of creatives globally will rely upon.

Check out our SIGGRAPH talk (https://youtu.be/Gm1B5DT8kE0?t=5824) or how our users use KREA (https://x.com/MartinNebelong/status/1724747362327781502) to see some features of the product.

We are well-funded, have millions in both users and revenue, and we keep growing. Our userbase ranges from the creative director of Coldplay to people doing 3D renders for architecture firms.

However, everything is on fire, and our small team can't build fast enough alone. We are looking for any smart person fascinated by our industry.

Example tasks:

- Frontend: building out 3D environments for AI rendering, highly detailed optimization work on our real-time AI canvas, and tons of Svelte (compiler knowledge is a great bonus!).

- Machine-learning: work on adapters from MMDit blocks to make models like Flux or SD3.5 more steerable; apply SAEs to cluster and interpret large image/video datasets; implement Diffusion-DPO; work on large-scale training and inference optimization for image/video diffusion models.

- Backend: build, scale, and "reliabilize" an infrastructure to support a cluster of >1000 GPU-nodes performantly, simply, and beautifully. We expect excellent understanding of distributed systems and engineering trade-offs.

Our tech stack: PyTorch, CUDA, DeepSpeed, k8s, ONNX, TensorRT, Grafana, Svelte(Kit), PostgreSQL, Redis.

If you are interested in learning more about what we’re working on or just want to meet to talk about steerable AI for creatives, you can email me at d+hn@krea.ai.
The problem is that inclusive housing is expensive - if you build a inclusive space with parking or wheelchair accessibility or extra bedrooms, then you're silently excluding those who cannot afford those features. This was basically Hong Kong's government's rationale for why it didn't ban cage homes - doing so would benefit the winners of the public housing lottery but cause the "losers" to become homeless. Feels kind of like a trolley problem to me.

> Universal Design is a concept that proposes the creation of spaces with democratic use, guaranteeing egalitarian conditions in terms of quality of service. The main goal of Universal Design is to allow everyone to use them to the fullest extent possible without the need for adaptations. Considered a concept that applies to architecture and other areas such as product design, Universal Design serves people considering their characteristics, age and individual abilities.

Notably, the design website that you linked doesn't mention anything about making housing cheaper or more affordable.
I have tons that solve small annoyances or paper over things I forget. As an example, I listen to an audiobook in audible many nights to sleep, but I often forget to set the sleep timer. Very annoying to have to scrub back hours to find the last thing you remember. I have a shortcut that activates when my iphone is in sleep focus that automatically sets the audible sleep timer for me. It's a little thing, but it's a great quality of life improvement and eliminates my need to think about sleep timers.
I'm beginning to like Sabine more and more. She is pro-nuclear, but she's not afraid to criticize the issues, like she did recently with small nuclear reactors.

The most optimistic view I've heard on string theory is that the Ads/CFT correspondence actually can move to de-sitter space one day. String theory proponents actually believe this. They do believe the Ads/CFT correspondence is one of the crowning achievements of string theory.

The most pessimistic view I've heard is that we're waiting for the people who have made string theory their life's work since the 1980's to retire and allow new funding efforts to go to different ideas.
A former captain of the Bayesian wrote a 2-page note.[1]
"The downflooding angle for Bayesian was around 40-45 degrees". The Angle of Vanishing Stability was, he says, in the 75 to 90 degree range, depending on whether the moveable keel was down. The movable keel, he writes, weighed 60 tons. It had to be down when sails were raised, but usually wouldn't be lowered in harbor. There were 200 tons of fixed keel ballast.

Well put!

We do a lot of event driven architecture with ActiveMQ. We try to stick messaging-as-signalling rather than messaing-as-data-transfer. These are the terms we came up with, I'm sure Martin Fowler or someone else has described it better!

So we have SystemA that is completing some processing of something. It's going to toss a message onto a queue that SystemB is listening on. We use an XA to make sure the database and broker commit together1. SystemB then receives the event from the queue and can begin it's little tiny bit of business processing.

If one divides their "things" up into logical business units of "things that must all happen, or none happen" you end up with a pretty minimalistic architecture thats easy to understand but also offers retry capabilities if a particular system errors out on a single message.

It also allows you to take SystemB offline and let it's work pile up, then resume it later. Or you can kick of arbitrary events to test parts of the system.

1: although if this didn't happen, say during a database failure at just the right time, the right usage of row locking, transactions, and indexes on the database prevent duplicates. This is so rare in practice but we protect against it anyway.
I looked on Zillow and there are indeed some places at that price.

I looked here to find other places I'm familiar with: https://gist.github.com/Miserlou/11500b2345d3fe850c92 and found that Ames is somewhere near Cupertino haha.

I wonder how it compares to other places in the USA in terms of affordability and what the other dimensions of price are in the same price range. (For example Cheyenne WY also similar in population.)

Ames, IA I would say qualifies as n tier in the sense that it seems like it's a suburb of Des Moines? And Des Moines is probably a fourth tier city?
It’s very frustrating to find that every single high paying industry is full of fraud and scams. Lawyers are taking advantage of their clients all the time. Insurance coverage leads people to believe that chiropractors aren’t scammers!

Forcing modernisation of some - (probably) especially gui - applications is overall a positive for the platform as it also identifies projects which are under-maintained and allow for overall modernisation / forking / maintenance that is needed.

I wouldn't expect to (easily) run php5 code on Ubuntu 26.04, either. Applications that refuse to modernise can build qt5 themselves.
It was the times of India holi party. They even had batter deep fried cannabis leaves. The Pujari were walking down the streets with bushels of cannabis singing and everything.
