What is missed here is that this will create zero additional seats, it just changes the dynamic of how you get one.

There might have been an after-market for these reservations where you could buy one if you want to. But now what? I guess it's just a race to call the restaurant? Or to reload their reservations page over and over again on the day they open them for the day you want? If I want to eat a Fancy Restaurant, but they are normally fully booked - what do I do now?

The folks that resell reservations like this are addressing an actual problem in the market. Perhaps you do not like that they are earning money doing so, but preventing it doesn't fix the problem either.

Endless factors come together with different strategies down to each ownership, management, manager, weaknesses in the property like insufficient parking or a compromised floor plan that won’t lease at mkt rate, or broader market issues like weak/strong school districts or job growth, or seasonal factors like university schedule. Societal preference like roommates/no roommates (either marriage or simply splitting the rent bill) can heavily impact demand.

For overall market, i.e. happy compromise between landlord and renter, 93 is close to optimal. Landlords really don’t want to go below 90 and typically will start to drop rents to maintain occupancy. If the market pushes past 96, developers can deliver new units pretty quickly. Forecasting- no one can predict the future but everyone thinks they can, so lots of crazy ideas there. There’s also a function of what are people willing/expecting to pay. So if people generally are unwilling to pay above $1700/mo, maybe Landlord just stuffs the property to 99% at the local maximum rent. We have found that to be a working strategy, rather than squeezing every last nickel out of renters, just find the comfortable breakpoint and fill up the building.

There’s all these technical details, but then behind each signed lease is a person making a complex personal and emotional decision that changes their lives for the next 12 months minimum.

Depends also heavily on the context. You pay for each cache miss twice - once for the miss itself, and next time when you access whatever was evicted during the first miss. This is why LUTs often shine in microbenchmarks, but drag down performance in real world scenarios when mixed with other cache bound code.

Restaurants want to be as busy as possible as much as time as possible and to sell as high value produce as possible and tip the waiter well. And to come back when they're not booked up.

Scalpers just want to skim a margin off the top at peak time, and don't give a shit whether people think they've overpaid for the experience and end up skipping dessert and ranting about how mediocre it was on social media. Or indeed whether they actually sell all the reservations at all they haven't paid for, especially if the profit maximizing fee is one that leaves it half empty...
I'm having trouble understanding where this emotion is coming from. The problem is annoying and unfair, but not the end of the world. Likewise, maybe we'd rather not reach for legislation, but such a small piece of legislation has little negative impact, and is not the end of the world.

Why the insults over this?
By taking up reservations that they may not sell, they make the problem worse and obscure what’s going on while costing restaurants business.

By extracting money from customers they people off of fine dining, which makes running restaurants harder.

Not a lot but every 0.1% matters in such a competitive industry.

I think the state of democracy in the "factory bamboozling" era is such that we need a system that reflects direct voter preferences less, not more.

The trick is coming up with a system that diverges towards the interest of the masses, rather than the elites or the corrupt or the foreign. Basically, the system must get the voters' preferences wrong, but get them wrong right.

This is really akin to the nature of representative democracy. Elected leaders manage the voters' interest rather than always doing what is polling better on that day. It's obviously a tricky task, but it's the hallmark of the best-functioning democracies.

Right now we're about as far from the goal as we've ever been. Our systems have been hacked and we don't have an effective counter.

I wonder if at this point an AI-based ad blocker that would actually look at the DOM, or maybe even the image, would be viable.

Given what's there today, especially the sizzle reel, I'm pretty dubious.

If the author drops an amazing generative text-to-sim system on top of this... THAT is impressive - but effectively orthogonal to what's there - so I'm withholding excitement for now.

Take the time to read over the repo. It is not revolutionary. It is an integration of a bunch of third party packages (which are largely C/C++ libraries with Python wrappers, not "pure python"!). The stuff unique to Genesis is adequate implementations of well-known techniques, or integration code.

The backflip is awesome but plausibly explained by the third party RL library, and they include an example program which... runs a third party library to do just this.

The performance numbers are so far beyond real world numbers as to be incoherent. If you redefine what all the words mean, then the claims are not comparable to existing claims using the same words. 43 million FPS means, if my math is right, you are spending 70 clocks per frame on a 3ghz processor. On a 4080 you would have ~500k clocks in the same period, but that implies 100% utilization with zero overhead from Amdahl's law. (Also, Hi, Erwin, maybe you think these claims are 100% realistic for meaningful workloads in which case I'll gladly eat crow since I have a huge amount of respect for Bullet!)

I can only judge what's released now, not a theoretical future release, and what's here now is something a really good developer could bang out in a couple of months. The USP is the really good spin around the idea that it's uniquely suited for AI to produce beyond-SOTA results.

> It's not really a compiler, but a transpiler to WAT.

That's still a compiler. What do you think many languages' early compilers were doing when they compiled to C source code? Heck, what do you think early C compilers were doing when they were compiling to .s files, before feeding them into assemblers?

These are all the same technology. We write compilers, with all the same skills, methodologies, practices. It doesn't matter the format that we output.

>Why would you want those companies to know more about yourself than you do?

That's not a question of wants, companies will always know more about you than you, for the simple reason that even if you had all their data you have no means to extract any meaning from it. It requires immense organization and resources, increasingly so as the rate of data production increases.

For that reason the correct response isn't to engage in the same hoarding and privacy abuse of the companies, it's like bringing a knife to a tank fight, but to 1. make sure you don't produce that data to begin with through privacy protections and technical means and 2. create environments in which you have ownership of your data, instead of businesses.
In my journey (B2, C1 on a good day), using Anki on public transport was of great help for grammar, eg irregular past tense forms, verbs with prepositions, fixed phrases. Releasing these Anki decks is a future project because making them was a pain.

But for learning to actually use the language: books, documentaries, and ideally immersion.
We have kernel level anti cheat systems for games. So how about kernel level anti tracking?

Browsers use system calls to provide the information used for fingerprinting the device, so why not intercept these calls and lie. Have all users present an identical fingerprints and we're back to pre google times. Yes, we lose some important functionality, but maybe it's a price worth paying?

It's not a problem at all. Cook at home or go to another restaurant. These legislators should be put on a strict diet of water and bread for a few years until they learn.

While there are no herbivores there, many animals at that depth are suspension feeders or deposit feeders, i.e. they filter the water or the mud for either alive micro-organisms or for organic substances that come from the decomposition of dead animals or algae.

At that depth an important food source is formed by the dead bodies or parts of bodies of various big or small animals, which fall from shallower water after their death.

Because at high depths there is no primary production in most places (with the exception of vents where free dihydrogen or dihydrogen sulfide may feed bacteria), most animals must eat the dead organic matter that falls from above.

Predators that eat alive animals from that depth must be much fewer than the animals which eat dead matter, otherwise they will die of hunger.
I thought the way people got reservations was to pay the concierge.

One way or another, you're going to have to pay to get a reservation at a hot restaurant.

It's like under communism, where the price of bread was set by the state. The result was shortages. So the real "price" a customer would pay was how long they were willing to wait in line. Customers would then pay other people to stand in line for them.

It's not possible for government to legislate away the price.
Why doesn’t someone create some kind of app that lets people use their own bots to grab reservations?

Anyone entering their S3 credentials should only enable the s3:GetObject scope, which we mention on the dashboard. They can also pass presigned URLs instead.

As far as rolling it yourself, it's certainly doable. This project started as an internal feature for our other business. Like most things, it ended up being more complicated + took longer than we thought and we were surprised there was no easy-to-use, plug-and-play solution to this problem.

We generally believe in operating at the highest level of abstraction to focus on the product, and felt that this was a hole in dev tooling!

>That's pretty nifty.

Thank you! The sms href is pretty underutilized. We’re thinking about using it in a CRM tool as well with the auto-filled fields.
I once had a student assistant (I was a grad student, she was an undergrad), and she had the three things you aren't ever supposed to have at the same time: extreme beauty, intelligence, and super authentically nice. People wanted to not like her, but couldn't find an excuse. It happens like that sometimes. (and no, I didn't).
Both are inevitable consequences of supply and demand. You cannot repeal the law of supply and demand, this new law will be yet another failure.
In Rust, there is no unsafe String, only blocks of code can be unsafe, no?
What you do now is go eat at a different restaurant. Lots of good ones out there. I can't understand why any customer would be stupid enough to put up with that much hassle and expense just to eat at one particular popular restaurant.

And if you really like a restaurant enough to eat there all the time and become friendly with the staff then you can always get a reservation.

I've been going around saying we need to push in the direction of a Condorcet voting system while handwaving away the possibility of a Condorcet tie, because all systems can result in ties. I hadn't realized there was a straightforward method that drastically reduced the amount of ties neatly called "Ranked Pairs". And that's with plenty of coffee.

Now if only we can change the political zeitgeist from "Ranked Choice Voting" implying Instant Runoff Voting, to RCV implying Ranked Pairs. IRV is merely what victims of the two party duopoly think they want to express their current frustration, but it would fall apart the more we actually got away from the one dimensional spectrum.
I've been satisfied with Anki for French over the last year or so.

The big schisms I see among other users tend to be sentence cards vs vocab cards, pre-existing decks vs build-your-own, and whether or not to include NL -> TL cards. Some people also favor cards with only TL and images. Personally I felt sentence cards did little for me, and I feel building my own deck is an important part of it.

From retrospectives from people abandoning anki, I get the impression that the most common problems are becoming too rigid (making it an exercise in memorizing the dictionary), and using Anki to the detriment of other forms of engagement with the language. I think that's one of the virtues of the build-your-own deck approach: it forces you to balance Anki with other forms of study.
I am not so sure, but indeed it is perhaps also a sad realization.

You compare this to "a human" but also admit there is a high variation.

And, I would say there are a lot humans being paid ~=$3400 per month. Not for a single task, true, but for honestly for no value creating task at all. Just for their time.

So what about we think in terms of output rather than time?

imo, the easiest way to learn a language is to start speaking it in real life esp if you live in the country. your brain starts filling in and you start to learn how to fill knowledge gaps by reading and hearing others in a “sponge” like way.

Yeah, I switched to an iPhone solely for the blue text bubbles. Among young women in my bubble, 98% have iPhones. I’d get sneers at bars from girls when my first text on their phone was green. People would complain openly about my phone ruining their group chats. While I preferred android tech, switching to iPhone was a no-brainer because it removed a lot of friction in social settings.

I've written extensively about myths and misconceptions about LLMs, much of which overlaps with the observations in that post.

Here's my series about misconceptions: https://simonwillison.net/series/llm-misconceptions/

It doesn't seem to me that you're familiar with my work - you seem to be mixing me in with the vast ocean of uncritical LLM boosting content that's out there.
We implemented something like this in CBQN last year (mainly for modulus, as floor division isn't a primitive). Commit is https://github.com/dzaima/CBQN/commit/d333902, some proofs of when and why it works at https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/implementation/primitive/ari....
Let's be honest, if you've been avoiding learning it for years, it's hard to see how a flash card system is going to turn the entire thing around. It still takes a lot of discipline and effort to stick to it.

If you already live there, forget flash cards, take a basic in-person course then just pick up a newspaper, turn on the TV, talk to that gas station employee in your broken German... Having actual conversations, no matter how broken, is IMHO way more beneficial than any app or course. And yes, I've learnt several languages (including German) this way. There's countless ways, but in the end it pretty much boils down to the willingness to learn it, not an optimal learning method.
A lookup table in memory can only be accessed an element at a time, so it gets bottlenecked in the execution units on the load and address generation traffic. This algorithm uses 8-bit integers, so the vectorized version is processing between 16-64 elements per operation depending on the vector width. It's even worse if the 8-bit divide is integrated with other vector operations as then the lookup table method also has insert/extract overhead to exchange the values between the vector and integer units.

A hybrid approach using small in-register lookup tables in the vector unit (pshufb/tbl) can be lucrative, but are very limited in table size.
You could come up with an ISA that implements it and it wouldn't be "known". Maybe that helps?
There are only 65280 possible inputs, that's easily small enough to test every value for correctness.
I was doing this. But then I started noticing that some emails I had read were not being stored locally in the Thunderbird IMAP folder structure on my computer, even though Thunderbird had fetched them and shown them to me. I couldn't figure out any rhyme or reason to this, so I started using mbsync on the commandline to properly mirror my IMAP account to a local store that then gets backed up with my home directory.
Then don't make a reservation. Go to a restaurant where they don't need that.
You think the death penalty is an exercise of ultimate power? It’s more an exercise of vengeance.

The ultimate exercise of government power is keeping someone locked in a tiny cell for the rest of their life where their bed is next to their toilet and you make them beg a faceless bureaucracy that has no accountability annually for some form of clemency via parole, all while the world and their family moves on without them.

There isn't really an "answer" to efficient learning other than consistent exposure, imo.

I was an Arabic linguist in the Army and used Anki, first at the start to ramp-up, and then later on to broaden my vocabulary, so I definitely think it is a good tool, but the 88 weeks of classes day-in, day-out with native speakers helped a lot more.

Anki (or diligent use of flashcards) is good for the vocab part of languages (and that's admittedly a big part of it), but the task of learning a language is much more holistic than people sometimes realize. They want to min/max, and I get that, but language is something innate in us so it's essential to realize how important immersion/interaction is.

From an age perspective (but the crowd here will not like that): before I trusted myself I could always find it back so I don't need to save it. Now I can't anymore, but I don't care so much.
A shift of 16 is enough for every 8-bit numerator, ie. x/a is (u32(x)*b)>>16 for some b depending only on a. You could precompute b for each a and store it a lookup table. The largest b is b=65536 for a=1 and the smallest is b=258 for a=255, so b fits in a u16 if stored with a 1-offset. Not sure it's worth it unless you reuse the denominator many times though.
Is it all eccentricity, mental illness, or overprivileged jerkiness?

Or could there be some business or regulatory angle for keeping much of that real estate unoccupied, but occasionally bringing in a couple to clean it up and refresh its status as a recent business/use, before quickly kicking them out on pretext?
