I feel like I’m missing something, forgive me.

I’ve read your entire thread, and I don’t mean this negatively… but I can’t tell if you’re larping.

Take this example:
“[They learn] piano as easily as molecular engineering”

Pretty much anyone with a career will have one or more other interests, like playing an instrument. And yes, at elite levels. Or sports, I know multiple olympians… but like… they’re quite normal. It’s obviously impressive, sure, but… what you’re saying doesn’t reflect my experience so I feel like I’m missing something!

I have never met any ivy league elite, actor, scientist, musician or anyone else that felt like they were super human.

The only ones who felt unworldly were billionaires because they could hire so many people to work on their projects in parallel.

TLDR: a summer intern who spoke Korean was able to find a single email in a million pages of document for a rather malicious counterlawsuit made against Valve because the other company, Vivendi was distributing Valve IP outside of the discussed regions and Valve sued them for that.
> Why just not drop any manned vehicles and go for the remote control + AI? What is the logic?

When the F-35 program was started in late 1980s-early 1990s, neither reliable remote control nor AI existed (I'm not even sure supersonic-reliable remote control exists now). Now, if there exists research programs utilizing unmanned fighter jets, they're likely classified and we won't know about them for quite some time.
So, transliteration to "Lady", "?ady" and "L?dy" respectively seems to work even better in this case than "Lady"

Yeah no, this is such a silly take on the situation. Finding anything useful in literally millions of pages of arbitrary documents, when you don't even know if there is anything useful, is an amazing feat. "Just" hiring a translator could also be prohibitively expensive at this volume when your company is already on the verge of bankruptcy. Even running a regular text search across millions of pages of what was probably a mix of emails, word documents, pdfs, etc takes a while today, never mind in the early 2000s. Keep in mind that this was probably an intern on what was a regular computer at the time, not some fancy distributed compute cluster. Finding anything useful in that pile is a gargantuan feat, even if there was no language barrier.

Well, exactly. Parents poster is pointing out that the cause is ambiguous. Actually, technically, they are attributing causality to the opposite direction, but in practice, I'd say it gets the point across.

Can you not use the AWS Bedrock and still use the Anthropic models there without having to deal directly with them?
Coincidentally just saw this video a few days ago.

Interesting approach, to use RPN for expressions, including for the condition in the while statement.

I could understand most of the logic of the interpreter, except for the part about how the while statement is implemented.

I did not quite understand the parts of the code with

case "while"

and

case "end

fragments.

That is, around the region of lines 11 to 14 or so, at about 18:0 in the video.

How does the code there, work?

The stabtech industry will just change to Stab-Into-The-Back technology, because every user hates to be stabbed in the chest, but doesn't care if it's not seen.
There are two aspects to this that are part of the way this will play out in the future.

1) More storage is required to spread the solar/wind power out over the day. Most countries are well behind on grid storage. Its more common in domestic solar installs and that depends significantly on policies on import/exports.

2) Green power will always require over provisioning. For example in Australia they get about 1.5x the Solar power daily in Summer compared to Winter and the system needs to be designed for the winter which involves more storage and more production. In the summer this means there is excess power.

What I think will happen is that there will be periods of almost free power when there is excess and there will be periods of very expensive power where grids pay for people to reduce their usage, we are seeing this in the UK already at ~50% renewables.

There will be businesses that will make sense to run when power is cheap in the near future, ideally I would hope maybe energy intensive hydrocarbon fuel creation from CO2 in the atmosphere and desalination but a lot of business will become competitive is power is nearly or actually free.

The future looks very different and curtailment is a sign the market and systems haven't yet caught up to the reality of renewable energy.
You can look up the average/median working hours I guess.. no country is even remotely close to 15hours per day.

You might want to think about this this other way.

If you were severely harmed by the actions of a specific person who happened to also be a business executive, should you be allowed to pursue that business executive in court?

Let’s say for example a wealthy man decides, for his personal amusement, to bulldoze your home. The bulldozer is owned by a LLC with no assets or insurance but the man is very rich. Should you be allowed to sue him personally?

How about if a family decides to engage in purposeful behavior in selling a deadly addictive drug that kills hundreds of thousands of people, making billions of dollars. Should they be allowed to walk away?

The “strange” convention that we adhere to is that we let people shield themselves from the consequences of their behavior behind corporate structures. Not the other way around.

The least we can do is ask them to show up in court and explain why that legal fiction should apply to them.

> And is it still controversial to say that the efficacy of covid vaccine was a lot more disappointing than we were basically all expecting?

As "controversial" means "prolonged public dispute or debate", necessarily so.

But I think also incorrect compared to the scientific discussion at the time. Not necessarily false compared to the political discussion or the newspapers etc., but the actual researchers themselves, who understood the reports and didn't get all their information from misleading summarised headlines like the rest of us:

"""What that means is if you had a hundred people who got coronavirus, this vaccine would have prevented 95% of them. So if that same 100 people had been vaccinated, only five of them would have got coronavirus. And that's the number that I really look for to start off with.

Now, when all of these studies were being designed, they said that they wanted to be able to get a vaccine that had a vaccine effectiveness of greater than 30%. That was the number that they were targeting. If they had a vaccine effectiveness of greater than 30%, then this would be a good result.

And to have a vaccine effectiveness of 95%, that's huge. That's so much more than we ever could have hoped for. And it's such a big result.
And the other studies have also had really good vaccine effectiveness estimates.""" - https://www.numberphile.com/podcast/jennifer-rogers

This was after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in a secret, government lab staffed by the utmost experts.

It wasn't the "oh look, something funny happens if I do this!" stage of experimentation. This was after they understood what they were dealing with well enough to build and successfully use two bombs. And Slotin was supposedly about to move elsewhere and was working on passing on knowledge.

That's why it's so weird to me.
> Lonelier individuals were also more likely to use unusual language when describing well-known celebrities and to describe them in ways that were not typical for their group.

How is that surprising? If they are lonely, they are not part of the group and intergroup communication (including shared values, opinions, gossip etc).

The text fails to define "unusual" in a meaningful way other than "not part of the majority". It's like saying "we found that the minority tends to vote differently than the majority".
SpaceX has no qualms launching competitors constellations, it has done so with Kupier already.

Sure the prices might not be quite as good as what Starlink gets but definitely comparable in big-O notation (especially compared to other launch providers).

Glass containers would not be an option. Monte Testaccio is maar up of globular amphorae of the type Dressed 20 (link at the end). Which is the largest type of amphorae, holding up to 80 liters. There's no way to make glass vessels of that size (in Roman times) they did use smaller glass bottles for oil that was perfumed.

The globular shape meant that reuse was impractical. Smaller allongated amphorae (the form most people think of when amphorae are mentioned)could see reuse as roofing tile, however they didn't hold the same volume.

Thank you for the clarification. Difficult to argue about this without the context, but even with it, there are so many unique and specific cases that it can essentially be brought down to the individual level.

Some children can be pushed way too hard, some can be pushed not enough and certainly some parents can take their own personal ambitions way too far, as it sounds like in the case you are describing.

Unfortunately, at the end of the day, I don't know of any system anywhere in the world that hasn't eventually devolved into a status chase, for better or worse.
"others like myself would rather kill themselves than work a 9-5 until they're 60". If its in a corporate hell-hole, I might at times feel like that too. However, not all 9-5s are equal :) Public sector such as govt or academia, or other non-profit, can be fulfilling and not soul-sucking. Or, at some point switch to something only slightly related to tech, such as teaching. People talk about "full fat" FIRE, but thats unrealistic and/or requires some years of miserable sacrifice for most people (being rich before you start, or getting randomly lucky with stocks, doesn't count IMHO). They also talk of "Barista FIRE" - i:e you can't totally retire but can work a supposedly low-stress job (personally, not convinced by it, baristas can still feel "oppressed" at work) . What about the middle road... which is, live frugally (which helps the planet too), over-pay mortgage and avoid other debts, with such an attitude hopefully most techies would by their 40s be able to work in a job with a moderate professional salary, perhaps arguably underpaid for what they do, but, if that's what necessary to be fulfilled at work and not feel like killing oneself, then so be it? ;)

Back in 2021 some guys in China claimed to have been able to upgrade the PoP RAM on a base M1 to 16GB: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/06/m1-mac-ram-and-ssd-upgr...

I remember when this came out, but more recently I recall finding something indicating that this was either untrue or pointless-- for example, while the ICs can be changed out, either the SoC or board knows what SKU it is due to an e-fuse or config locked into a cryptographically-signed firmware package, and refuses to address a different amount of RAM. I can't find that reference, however.

> There are tradeoffs with secrecy. Trust me when I tell you, secrecy comes at a cost. It limits the flow of ideas, even within your own organization.

To clarify, I’m not advocating for active secrecy as goal, especially not inside the company. I’m more arguing for not actively sharing with the outside what you don’t have to because they don’t have the same context you do and will judge your decision out of their own biased feelings. Which then leads to you having to waste an inordinate amount of time explaining yourself.

As a mechanist there’s more tax on my work now than when I was centering Divs because it was considered "research and development", which comes with tax exemptions. I won’t share the salary difference but you can bet it’s inversely proportional to the tax.

This is in France but I’m sure other Europeans countries have found ways to favor IT startups over usefull industries.
But considering a higher power as even a plausible hypothesis is purely due to historical reasons. Alien mind control, Illuminati mind control, living in a simulation, or humans being the fruiting body of Gaia would be impatiently dismissed despite requiring fewer assumptions than an all-powerful entity. Why should that idea even be entertained, rigorously speaking?

Thanks for the answer. But is this actual behaviour for the GCs of the JDK? I was certain that at the very least Hotspot makes use of stack allocation as much as possible.

But perhaps the JDK GCs don't care so much about the stack because that is already dealt by the JVM a step prior? In any case, there will likely still be young objects allocated in the heap and this new algorithm might prove useful.

But you can tell I am far from an expert here.
>Something very much up for debate amongst leading scholars

Who are those "leading scholars" and what gives them authority to be the judge what consenting adults do with their body for a living or for entertainment?
People just don't make mass changes to existing working code. Mostly they cannot. Even if the tooling was available, which it's not, it's also about reeducating their developers, who don't want to or can't change. Plus it'd have to be recertified. It's all cost with no benefit.

Except, allegedly, at Google. But is there any evidence they actually do this, eg. in public code bases? Or is it just hype?

"SpaceX is vertically integrated" is also not an economic reason for the space ISP market to be winner takes all. Vertical integration doesn't cause breakups.

I recommend building an intermediary data access layer like a graphQL API that the LLM consumes, otherwise you run the risk of someone successfully tricking the LLM to drop all or part of the DB via a raw input-to-SQL step.
