> At the end of the day we have to write code for real hardware.

We have to write code for real (often future) compilers, and compilers are generally unsympathetic to code whose behaviour is undefined under the standard (I think this is unreasonable behaviour by compiler maintainers, but that argument has been lost).

In my experience C compilers don't really think or care about what happens for code that triggers UB, so it wouldn't at all surprise me if it was possible to get a compiler to emit code that exposes cache incoherence (i.e. it reads and writes memory in a pattern that does not have defined behaviour according to the underlying platform's memory model (would need extra barrier instructions etc.), and then on that hardware the result is a cache incoherence effect). Probably not on x86 with its friendly memory model, but maybe on ARM or the like (Alpha used to be a notorious place to see such bugs).
> Increased racial diversity wasn't the only goal of the movement but it's the one that lead us to this PR.

Is it? If you look at the deleted text, you’ll find gender identity, stress, trauma, and a whole lot of verbiage in general. And, while I don’t object to the actual actionable suggestions I found in this document, it’s not so hard to see how this attitude to DEI alienates a lot of people. For example:

- I know someone who teaches a law class and has struggled to get approval to discuss and test “triggering” topics in family law. I expect most people think that classes should be able to teach their actual subject matter without this kind of bureaucracy in the way.

- Anyone who has applied for an NSF grant needs to discuss “broader impacts”. I think there’s a fair amount of consensus that it’s utter nonsense.

- Gender identity issues can be genuinely uncomfortable. Gender identity issues in sports can be extra uncomfortable. Maybe one side of the political spectrum is over the top in disliking trans rights, but perhaps the other side should acknowledge that having people with penises in women’s locker rooms would make a lot of people extremely uncomfortable.

- Have you seen some of the more egregious lists, produced by DEI offices, of words and phrases that should be banned? Maybe 1% of the contents are on point. Maybe 30% are so outrageous that it makes one question the entire process.

- There are plenty of highly questionable investigations by Title IX offices. Some are utterly outrageous. The overall process seems rather dubious, especially in the context of the US constitution.

I think the forces that pushed for all this stuff in the first place should engage in a bit of self-reflection, at least to the extent of trying to understand how they might rub people the wrong way.

AI building the integrations is the approach we are taking at the moment, to the extent that you can store credentials like API keys and Oauth and then make the AI aware of these via a variable like ${googleAPI.SECRET}.

These credentials can then be use in the API node (where the AI can write a custom curl) or the run code component (where the AI can write custom python or js code to make an HTTP request).

Actual title: Ski Resort Closures and Opportunities for Sustainability in North America
Posting from the perspective of an American East Coast skier:

An interesting question is whether what is happening is loss or consolidation? In other words, while there are fewer ski resorts in the US, is the total size of the remaining resorts larger or smaller?

A quick look at skimap.org [0] shows both a lot of closed resorts, and archived maps from the open resorts that show that a few decades ago they were much smaller, both in terms of lifts and trails.

Unfortunately, a reliable measurement of ski area capacity is hard to come by. Even if we only look at the US (so ignore the fact that European resorts measure their terrain in km of piste while North American ones use skiable acres), the figures they quote can be inflated. The ideal figure to use is comfortable carrying capacity [1] but this is a trade secret. Possibly one could use total lift uphill capacity (or an estimate based on the lift type)?

There are a few factors driving the death of small local ski resorts. I think this is a bad thing and endangers the future of the sport by raising the barrier in terms of cost and travel for new skiers to try it, at the same time as mega passes make skiing cheaper than it has ever been for people who ski a lot. But it's not just climate change (the article touches on this).

One issue is the necessity and cost of snowmaking. Climate change has something to do with this (resorts that could open on all-natural snow now can't) but the real issue is that once one resort installed snowmaking, its rivals had to do so or go out of business. The Christmas vacation week is the biggest money maker for ski resorts, but skiing on the East Coast on natural snow at Christmas has never been reliable south of about Killington. The first season Okemo operated (without snowmaking), they didn't have enough snow to open to the general public until February.

Another issue is insurance. The court case of Sunday v. Stratton in the 1970s dramatically raised resort's insurance premiums and forced them to spend more money on trail maintenance, replacing the old narrow CCC-style trails with today's wide "boulevards".
(A novice skier tripped over a bush at the edge of a beginner trail, hit his head on a rock and became paralyzed. He sued the resort and won).

Finally, there's better roads and more reliable cars. This means that skiers might be willing to travel further to a better mountain rather than ski at their small local hill. The closure of Braddock Heights ski area on the outskirts of Frederick, Maryland, coincides almost exactly with US-15 being upgraded to a four lane highway, making it much quicker for skiers from Frederick to drive to the larger Liberty resort in Pennsylvania.

Taken together, there are a lot of reasons why smaller ski areas have closed. Some are climate related, others not.

I disagree, because I think aid can be helpful depending on how it arises. $50,000,000 is not an insane amount of money (consider defense spending), and it would not eliminate a significant amount of student debt. It does buy you a lot of rubbers, though.

America, since the Nixon administration, through the Cold War and after the dissolution of the USSR has promoted global cooperation as a tool for stopping authoritarianism at the source. We help nations with their AIDS crisis because it means they are fundamentally more stable and can use their government to focus on problems they're equipped to handle.

America doesn't have to help anyone. We can always kick back on our lawn chairs, take the taxpayer-funded pontoon out on the lake and watch the world burn from a safe distance. But we don't do that, because when we do we prove to the world that we are exactly the evil and selfish caricature of a nation they think we are. After all, if America doesn't formally offer to help they might seek out an even more destructive solution (see: IMF loans, centralized planning, coordination with adversaries, etc). Then you'll be wishing we bought the condoms for them.

Looking to learn a novel DevOps topic on a low-end box
I work as a product support engineer.

I've so far learnt about

Now, I am looking to go in a new topic:

- It should be achievable to learn within 1 month(50-100 hrs) of effort.
- It should be interesting to learn(something novel, I mean)
- It should help me learn something new as well.
- I don't have a cloud to practice aws etc and can't purchase them either.
- I should be able to self host it in my lenovo thinkpad with 16gb ram and intel i5 7th generation processor

I can:

- write shell script for basic installation purposes.
- Install applications on linux server & troubleshoot if something wrong occurs.(example: LEMP etc)
- Configure NGINX web servers
- Troubleshoot using command line utilities.
- Create VMs in virtualbox.
- Basic SQL(can read).
- configure kubernetes on linux server.

So, I am now wondering what can I do that can drastically enhance my skillset.

I've asked this to ai bots(deepseek,chatgpt) and they all tell me un-creative answers. They say to do ci/cd with github actions & kubernetes. But the problem is I don't know how to write yamls.

They say:

- use helm -->I don't know yamls
- Setup SIEM
- log aggregation with loki & grafana--->I don't know programming language spring boot to centralize its logs
- terraform---> I don't know yamls
- gitops-->I don't know yamls
- REST API in java--> I don't know spring boot

It seems like I need to learn yamls. However, really having tough time finding a resource

I can totally understand being interested in crypto in 2010. It was a genuinely novel use of technology, which seemingly had a lot of potential. But it's 2025 now, and the primary use has turned out to be crime. I mined some Bitcoin back then, and even sold it on Mt. Gox. But these days? Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
The main reason topography emerges in physical brains is because spatially distant connections are physically difficult and expensive in biological systems. Artificial neural nets have no such trade-off. So what's the motivation here? I can understand this might be a very good regularizer, so it could help with generalization error on small-data tasks. But hard to see why this should be on the critical path to AGI. As compute and data grows, you want less inductive bias. For example, CNN will beat ViT on small data tasks, but that flips with enough scale because ViT imposes less inductive bias. Or at least any inductive bias should be chosen because it models the structure of the data well, such as with causal transformers and language.

you will be surprised, but it's all about corruption oportunities.

In venezuela right now, there's a YC startup (2023), "Kontigo" [1], who's part of it, they went all in with this "stablecoin" bullsh*t and manage to get a license to operate in US (stripe) and with Venezuelans users with absolutely NO KYC, fully connected and "licensed" by the venezuelan "National Superintendence of Cryptoassets and Related Activities" a.k.a SUNACRIP

Take note that this SUNACRIP had closed operations since 2020 when a huge corruption scandal hit the govt, they used crypto to run corruption operations and money laundering [2][3][4] and somehow SUNACRIP, an organization that is not even working or functioning, this january licensed "Kontigo" to operated in the country, the founders themselves made a bragging video on instagram about "noone expecting it", wich is hillarious, you can find the video at https://www.instagram.com/p/DFd8ouoNKuI/

Anyways, the corrupted govt, approved a YC startup to exchange instantly USDC to VEF using venezuelans banks APIs and USA banking system (plaid, stripe, etc), without any KYC, without any sanctions screening, nothing, the reason for this approval is pretty simple, they doing the money laundering process super easy for them lol, they helping venezuelan corrupts officials bypass sanctions and easy money laundering.

I'm absolutely baffled at the situation and wondering how the fuck this happened, I myself know lower/mid size venezuelan corrupt officials using Kontigo to instantly wash money into USDC, and all of this is backed by YC itself.

And inbefore any user comes here telling me that "venezuela is sanctioned" and whatever other random thing, this company absolutely doesnt help venezuelans, it only helps corruption and launder money from corruption and drugs

Mixed signal components are hard to do well and have significant impact on the quality of final analog audio I/O. So, it matters which components have been used regardless of whether it's on on-motherboard solution or an external add-on solution (whether internal over PCIe or external over another appropriate bus, such as USB); however, the economics of onboard solutions make it quite likely that this is where quality will be skimped since many consumers won't care much about quality differences in this area, whereas the focused external solution will live or die in part based upon the quality of such components.

Note, however, that this concern really only applies to whatever in your system is performing the final digital to analog or initial analog to digital conversions since that interface with the "real world" is where the quality matters. In a world with bluetooth speaker systems, where that mixed signal phase actually happens in the speaker hardware, it is relevant to consider where this kind of quality even matters in the full audio system you're deploying.
Is it that easy?
We can’t get the information from the source unless we know it’s there. That’s the service an algorithm will invisibly produce for us even after we murder the last logo between us and The News
Interesting ideas there thanks. I do know about that Maxwell derivation that involves Minkowski space, Lorentz transform consistency, etc, although I haven't fully memorized how it works, so that I can conjure up how it works from memory. I don't really think in equations, I think in visualizations, so I know a lot more than I can prove with math. You're right it's mind-blowing stuff for people like us that are interested in it.
There's exactly one IIRC. document.all
I see an implementation of Hopcroft-Karp is disclosed in capablanca documentation. To help us understand your post further, could you explain its involvement? How are you able to achieve an approx ratio below sqrt(2)?
Yeah, I actually interviewed for a Haskell position there in 2023. They didn't hire me, but it was kind of fun to do technical questions in Haskell for an interview instead of the boring JavaScript or Python that I usually use.
But they are "nicht lustig".
And all it requires is a gross, exploitative business model and lots of grief.
This is the main selling point of crypto. You could go one step further, learn how to manage your own wallet and cut the middle man (in this case, the OP).
> Sunday v. Stratton

Could state law mitigate this? In essence, someone can certify themselves as an expert and thus waive liability for the resort? (I assume this would also void one's life insurance policy.)
> So what's the motivation here?

Better interpretability, I suppose. Could give insights into how cognition works.
The only potential benefit shown in the paper is the topologically local models seem to be more resilient after pruning.

So you may be able to prune a 7B model down to 6B while maintaining most of the capability.
That's a declaration. That would be cool. Doesn't currently work with let or var either.
Although the practicality of what you described towards the end of your original comment conceptually demonstrates an MoE-like architecture, the fact that you explicitly mentioned not understanding why larger models are smarter and then proceeded to try to couch-engineer a new, smaller architecture suggests that you were in fact not aware of the MoE architecture and thus the ELI5 LEGO approach was reasonably helpful. I’ve read your question carefully many times, and I’ve read others’ comments in the thread; you seem frustrated that folks aren’t answering your questions when in fact they have been answered — albeit not in the way you seem to want; how can we fix this?
You on-ramp/off-ramp with P2P (aka just another guy). It is illegal but how can a government control that?
The US has the license to print money for itself because the world chose you to be our superpower, and all the financial perks that comes with that.

But don’t pretend we can’t take that crown and put it on someone else.

>$50,000,000 is not an insane amount of money

Please reconsider the utterly nonsensical nature of your statement. Anyone who says $50 million dollars is "not an insane amount of money" has no business commenting on financial affairs, let alone money provided by taxpayers.

>global cooperation as a tool for stopping authoritarianism at the source. We help nations

Cooperation is nice and warm, but the keyword there is "help". You can't help others when you need help yourself first, and right now today there are countless matters that concern ourselves and require proper attention.

Whether it's crumbling infrastructure, insufficient housing, rising costs of living and medical care, excessive costs and debts of education, measures and mandates necessary to prevent and recover from natural disasters, and many more, just imagine what another $50 million dollars could do. And it's not just that $50 million, there are certainly far more where that came from.

Hell, even if we have nothing else to spend money on we still have an utterly crazy amount of debt. Putting $50 million towards our debt (aka cutting $50 million in expenditures off our national budget) is $50 million less in debt.

>America doesn't have to help anyone. ... But we don't do that, because when we do we prove to the world that we are exactly the evil and selfish caricature of a nation they think we are.

There is nothing selfish about "putting on your own oxygen mask before helping others", aka America First. American tax dollars are first and foremost paid for the mutual benefit of Americans. If we happen to have any surplus left, then we can talk about how we can donate that money to charity for other countries.
Not if the audio circuitry has been properly canned (i.e. Faraday-caged) and if the power supply produces clean input power; however, one or both and especially the latter often do get compromised in poorly integrated Wintel PC systems.
