A lot of it is an assumption that patient at some point won't follow up for some reason (generally money).

So, the dentist is more likely to prioritize completeable treatment over wait and see.

Due to my mouth and jaw shape, I put a lot of pressure on two of my lower teeth. They have abfractions and they are going to crack at some point. Being north of middle aged, none of my options to change things are great (normally you'd crack the jaw and move the teeth around--kinda not great at my age).

However, I show up regularly for cleaning so she is willing to observe and monitor. I suspect that if I weren't a reliable, recurring patient, she'd probably press me to do something about them.
It depends on the game. If there are a lot of game simulation calculations to do for every frame, then you're going to be CPU constrained. If it's a storybook that you're walking through and every pixel is raytraced using tons of 8000x8000 texture maps, then it's going to be GPU constrained.

Most games are combinations of the two, and so some people are going to be CPU limited and some people are going to be GPU limited. For games I play, I'm often CPU limited; I can set the graphics to low at 1280 x 720, or ultra at 3840 x 2160 and get the same FPS. That's CPU limiting.
Inflation is real, hyper inflation is also real, such as in your example Argentina. But it is not caused by higher salaries.
Can you imagine that people were building smaller apartments :rofl:
In general, the way a walled garden wins is by providing everything its villagers need inside.

And Apple’s products seem to create walled gardens in order to prioritize [first creative, then economic] control.

Based on the demographic that a significant portion of their marketing seems targeted towards (artists and creative types), I think your theory sounds likely.

As someone who has recently started using Zulip I'm really excited you made that call. Its topic model really is unreasonably effective at improving the whole chat experience.
You took parents sentence too literally. After having it printed it is without clickable links and hence not very useful.

I'll give an example: -ffast-math.

There's extensive literature out there on how fast-math changes the behaviour of code. I've been bitten by this a couple of times already.
Hopefully Apple doesn't ruin this, but I assume that it will be infested with Apple AI features sooner than later. Oh well, at least Pixelmator Pro is not a subscription service, so it will last me for a while even if that becomes the case.
People can downvote all they want. But CISA needs a talking point, and "Rust solves it" is one they won't ever let go. Go talk to those freaks and remember I told you so.
These need to be banned.
A better take is Universal Design adds nothing to the cost of building at scale. Anyone charging more for using Universal Design is scamming you.

I think that the cost floor for housing (labor, land, materials) is high enough that "affordable housing" cannot be made without state funding. Helsinki is a good starting point.

I understand the exclusion problem. As you said, inclusive space excludes those who can not afford the space (ghetto by income). Non-inclusive space excludes by physical ability (ghetto by the degree of handicap).
> hemmed and hawed for several weeks over whether to email a reprimand to that Doctor's manager, but ultimately decided it wouldn't do any good.

Why? I feel I'd at least want that on the record even if the manager chooses to do nothing. Given what you're saying sounds so blantalty off course and not just some honest mistake.
>I don't understand the persistent effort some bystanders are making to discredit this work that has met the approval of mathematical professionals.

I don't try to discredit this stuff, and probably couldn't come up with similar proof myself since I'm not that interested in mathematics in general, but I am personally getting kinda tired of all these "child discovers x" stories where x turns out to either be something this is already well known or it turns out that they've just restated something that was well known in a somewhat trivial way. I'm not saying that's what happened in this case, but it is what happens in most of these sorts of stories that get published anytime it's a slow news day.
Does anyone know if this Mac Mini can survive longer than a year? Apple's approach to hardware design doesn't prioritize thermal issues*.

In fact, the form factor is why I'm leaning toward taking a pass - I don't want a Mac Mini I would have to replace every 12 months.

* or rather, Apple doesn't target low enough temperatures to keep machines healthy beyond warranty
Oh you're the guy who couldn't save emails to a file that I replied to on Mastodon. I don't understand how extracting frames from a video and that cumbersome, error prone workflow is an improvement over the code out there to extract JSON from random text files. I think it is neat that it did it automatically for sure, but that doesn't generalize to something that is repeatable and efficient compared to existing systems. I'm sorry that the magic isn't impressive to me but given the nature of how they work that I've been playing with as well since their early fake-dnd game generator days and BERT even before the pandemic do indeed give me a bias to feel justified in criticizing the immensely clear unscalable and inefficient inference.

It is like you can ask these things how to be better at getting people to not cower when you speak and it'll go on and on about the role of discourse and never mention toothpaste. They are X/Y problem factories. I applaud your efforts in documenting it all but the prescriptive value just isn't there and doesn't prove anything about these thing's general applicability.

At work, we discovered that our product doesn't work with Windows 11 because Microsoft forcibly installed W11 on our demo machine the night prior.

If you're curious, it's because the W11 Bluetooth stack is somehow even more broken than W10. Our entirely standard Bluetooth widget can't communicate with W11 PCs and there's really no good way to discover how or why. Bluetooth support is so bad in Windows that I've been assigned to start porting all our software over to Linux. I could go on for hours over this. Windows is so bad.
It seems to pretty much still be in transition. Element X lacks still many features, and cannot be used with some homeservers that still use the old style SSO.

I already use use Matrix for many public chat rooms, but it still needs some work before I can recommend it to other people.
my dental school is pretty big on evident based dentistry. Many dentists I works with often refer to researches and guidelines. Even dentists arguing with each other on the internet quote researches. So I think it is getting better.
SEEKING WORK | Canada | Remote | Applied Research Scientist

I have a PhD in computer engineering, focusing on operations research (OR). I specialize in developing solutions to OR problems and advising on OR matters for any type of company, but for startups in particular. In other words, I can translate real-world problems into mathematical models that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other optimization methods. I can implement and provide a production-ready solution for any type of problem you might have related to OR: scheduling, routing, etc.

Recent work includes an optimization model for the selection of indexes in Postgres: https://pganalyze.com/blog/index-advisor-v3

You mean will it count into sustaining stupidity? yes is the answer. ( and to be more nuanced I wouldn't call it stupidity, that's ignorance).

On another note: science was never 'invented' - the spirit of inquiry was always there among minority of individuals since ancient times.

In 100 years there will probably be somebody maintaining Linux for sentimental reasons. But it probably won't be in practical use.
This is kind of why I'm skeptical of AI. When supposed tech experts are wearing rose tinted lens and missing the red flags, it's either because they want to wear them or because their livelihood depends on wearing them.

I won't blame people for that latter, I'd love a good quick way out of traditional work as well (gives me more time to hack on stuff without money troubles). But it's not a good model for curiosity and scrutiny. Again, I'll wait it out. Take care.

I don't think that's quite correct. I have my screenshot from years back when google was "correcting" your query so I asked google what year Marilyn Munroe shot JFK and it said 1962. I'm reasonably sure this is before the transformers paper.
Msys2 is really great, I also daily drive it when I’m on a windows box.

> This seems like some wildly misplaced animosity toward the concept. Especially in regard to trying to shift away from calling kids "intelligent". […] I'm not here to say whether that's panned out or not, it seems very new in the child psychology space, but I think the idea makes sense.

That's the entire point of the elaboration that TFA goes into on the research in this area: while the idea feels like it "makes sense", it actually doesn't, and the research appears to confirm that it is just junk science.

The larger point is that it's just C-suite grift, and they're just shoveling bull to appear as if they're knowledgeable leaders.
Please don't, that will compromise its reliability.
Honestly this is the same level of snarkiness of saying, "Be a web company." in the early 2000s

YCombinator is a tech investor, of course they are investing in the future. It just so happens that in this current tech cycle AI is the future.
Apple no longer has drivers for anything newer than AMD RDNA2 and have completely dismantled the driver team.

Did I use the word 'every'?

>most wisdom teeth removal are not necessary" does not fit my observations.

This does not fit in with the anecdotes I have and personal experiences.

Also 2 people user here has commented on wisdom tooth removals :

So where do you think is the discrepancy in what you have observed and what 3 users on this forum have commented on?
The Citizens United decision and resulting Super PACs are one of the worst things to happen to US democracy. Money is not speech. Free flow of untraceable money into our elections means that political ads cost more for the direct candidates because of competition. There's only so many hours in the day so if someone can buy ads for 95% of the reserved ad time, by necessity all other speech is reduced. I think we need a constitutional amendment to address it.
Amazing, this looks like just what I've been wanting
Learning Fennel from Clojure
I was like you until last year. I did all my development from Emacs on WSL1, writing mostly Windows-specific code (DCOM). I maintained a set of brittle hacks to allow me to drive Windows side CMake and MSBuild straight from Emacs, and then run LSP on compile commands from Clang tricked into thinking it's cross-compiling. It held up surprisingly well.

Eventually, I installed a WSL2 distro so I could run Docker, then I had to reimage the machine because corporate reasons, and then, with my work involving less Windows-specific code, I decided to not recreate my pile of hacks, but start with a fresh WSL2 setup. It works well enough, so that's what I use now.

FWIW, I always liked WSL1 more. WSL2 is basically just more streamlined VirtualBox setup; WSL1 is magic.
> Do you mind sharing why you chose SPLADE-esque sparse embeddings?

I can provide what I can provide publicly. The first thing we ever do is develop benchmarks given the uniqueness of the nuclear energy space and our application. In this case it's FermiBench[0].

When working with operating nuclear power plants there are some fairly unique challenges:

1. Document collections tend to be in the billions of pages. When you have regulatory requirements to extensively document EVERYTHING and plants that have been operating for several decades you end up with a lot of data...

2. There are very strict security requirements - generally speaking everything is on-prem and hard air-gapped. We don't have the luxury of cloud elasticity. Sparse embeddings are very efficient especially in terms of RAM and storage. Especially important when factoring in budgetary requirements. We're already dropping in eight H100s (minimum) so it starts to creep up fast...

3. Existing document/record management systems in the nuclear space are keyword search based if they have search at all. This has led to substantial user conditioning - they're not exactly used to what we'd call "semantic search". Sparse embeddings in combination with other techniques bridge that well.

4. Interpretability. It's nice to be able to peek at the embedding and be able to get something out of it at a glance.

So it's basically a combination of efficiency, performance, and meeting users where they are. Our Fermi model series is still v1 but we've found performance (in every sense of the word) to be very good based on benchmarking and initial user testing.

I should also add that some aspects of this (like pretrained BERT) are fairly compute-intense to train. Fortunately we work with the Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory and developed all of this on Frontier[1] (for free).

This one was my favorite:

"A carpenter, working with a buzz saw, wishes to cut a wooden cube, three inches on a side, into 27 one-inch cubes. He can do this job easily by making six cuts through the cube, keeping the pieces together in the cube shape. Can he reduce the number of necessary cuts by rearranging the pieces after each cut? Either show how or prove that it’s impossible."

Game Porting Toolkit isn't a response in this scenario. All advertising for GPTK is aimed squarely at publishers, and even Whiskey has to pull a binary out of a back alley for D3DMetal. Apple is essentially doing nothing and hoping it works.
I don't remember snap circuits when I was a kid, it was all about the spring terminal kits.

I didn't really get anywhere with any of it until I started doing microcontrollers though. I don't think I really made an effort to really learn and improve in the analog era, I followed along with instructions but never did anything nontrivial on my own

Occasionally things just didn't work, pretty sure broken components or bad connections or some other dumb trivial problem was happening, so I kind of got a sense that these analog parts were mysterious unknowable things.

I think I would have probably learned more if I'd had the Falstad simulator or something.

With microcontrollers, the path forward is much clearer, once you know the basics of coding and how to use libraries, whatever idea you have seems possible, and it's more obvious what the next step is and what you should be learning.

With analog work it's all like doing math, everything interacts in ten different ways, and the application itself is one side of an equation you sometimes have to change to make it all work.

Growing up watching tech in the movies, you almost never see anything that's possible without microcontrollers. You have to be really smart to even come up with any ideas that you can do with analog.

"Sorry we created this AI that took away your job and made you homeless, but in exchange you can use our cool app for free that will help you escape starvation and maybe even find the optimal homeless shelter! And think of it -- your sacrifice has made it possible for devs earning 6-figure salaries to be more productive, and doctors to write better emails, and the USA now has a higher GDP than ever! Large corporations profits are up! Society (for the rest of us) is better because of it."

Reminds me of Walmart putting small business owners in a small town out of business and then offering them a minimum wage job at their store.

I recommend watching Nomadland if you haven't already. (Update: Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case, carry on.)
Oh interesting.

As a performance metric that does seem like it would be more valuable for lots of use cases, so measuring that seems good.

Maybe they need to add an additional “cpu bound multiprocessing perf”, and make it easier for professional tech reporters to understand complex concepts like benchmark numbers :D (in fairness to the reporters it does sound like the benchmark name legitimately implies that it’s a max parallel throughput benchmark, but if this is your job you should really know what your benchmarks are actually measuring).

Honestly a benchmark I would like to - which is more of a software/kernel/os/scheduling one - is “how responsive is this machine under heavy load”.

A non zero part of wanting that as part of a benchmark is that popular benchmarks often seem to be the only way to get companies to fix “uncommon” issues.
