It's not a business, it's a public service. Basic research takes decades to bear fruit. mRNA therapies we have today wouldn't be possible without decades of subsidy. No pharma company is willing to do that long expensive research.

We've seen how this model plays out. One by one, big pharma shut down its antibiotics division, precisely when we most need to antibiotics to be developed. Instead they target low cost, high reward directions, such as figuring out how to put Ozempic into a pill (instead of a shot).

I told him everything he needed to know to fix the exposure on my initial contact on the exact same email I tell him I'm not asking for anything. I even told him some information about the exposed tables.

Backed by the fact that 1 hour after my email, the exposure was closed and the company never replied back to me, it was only after I followed up they emailed all those claims.

Again, I never asked for anything, I even offered to delay my publication so they could notify people if that was their intent, where is the blackmail here?
I'd be cool to create a simple template that you could repeat for each post in video form:

- The location (sidewalk, park, etc)
- Native vs non-native?
- Seen as a weed or flower/desirable plant?
- Who pollinates it.

My experience with this is it is almost always caused by some heavy-handed linter rule, e.g. "fail CI if methods don't have javadoc". Most of those "dumb" linters also almost never catch when a parameter has been renamed but its "@param" was left intact. Drives me crazy.

I’m sorry you feel the way you do. Reading through your post, it is deeply rooted in your view of yourself. When I turn too far inward I can relate. It’s hard because your writing indicates you like to think and analyze, and you have embraced the “warm blanket” of self loathing since it is very comfortable for you.

I hope you don’t find what I'm about to say glib. I don’t mean it that way. I truly believe that you can find meaning through shifting your focus from inside to outside yourself. I say this only because this has benefits to me. I realize that may not mean it works for you, but I hope it will.

Try giving freely of your talents to others. You mention your math career. Try finding people who struggle with math and tutor them. For free. Start slow & easy, and focus on their growth not yourself.

I also encourage you to unplug and find ways to reconnect with nature. Walks where you do nothing but notice the colors of the flower petals, or the rippling of the water. No distractions. Just practicing on focusing outward with no expectations.

I hope you can find some meaning in this crazy life. Sometimes I resort to a pascal style wager - this is by definition my only shot at life, so why not try and see what happens?

I found this explanation from steamdb that points to the various projects and libraries they use to gather all the data they have. It's not a how-to, but it has very useful info.
A few years back, I realised how bad the addiction was when I deleted a couple of apps. While doing other things on my phone, I'd autopilot going to the apps list and tapping the empty space where Reddit/Twitter used to be. You're right, that little bit of friction is enough to make you stop and ask "what am I really getting out of this?"
I've now had multiple people ask for this - I will work on adding a new tab for this feature as it is a little different than what the site was originally intended to do.

Generally speaking models seem to be bucketed by param count (3b, 7b, 8b, 14b, 34b, 70b) so for a given VRAM bucket you will end up being able to run 1000's of models - so is it valuable to show 1000s of models?

My bet is "No" - and what really is valuable is like the top 50 trending models on HuggingFace that would fit in your VRAM bucket. So I will try build that.

Would love your thoughts on that though - does that sound like a good idea?

I´m super excited, sleepless for a couple of days already. I´m trying to use all tricks possible to improve a Sequence Labeling using Conditional Random Fields. I need to NER billion of documents, and need to be fast.
CRFSuite is a workhorse, and a baseline very hard to beat with speed and precision. But with o3 I´m created a frank-stain with many tricks such as CRF with variable order, feature interactions, bidirectional, jointly learning with word embeddings. The precision is already over than CRFSuite. And I believe that would be better than many other solutions such as bi-lstm-crf. Definitely much faster.

Now i´m trying to port to Cython to make as fast as possible. Here o3 is almost useless, but I´m progressing.
Indeed. Only cracked xir enby trans egg shortly before hitting thirty.

But xir midlife crisis had far more to do with an abusive ex, "normative" but foolish financial choices, and other mental health issues.

The gender matters were and continue to ground xe more than not: They're an undeniable, celebration-worthy facet of xir identity and a regular source of joy. Gender euphoria is a thing! If you're cisgender but have found deep affirmation in an especially gendered outfit (e.g. a tuxedo or cocktail dress) then you've had a taste of what it's like to go beyond your baseline gender contentment. Hope that helps!

> My 2021 Model Y is rated at 455km in ideal conditions, but has about 340km today in cold conditions at Autobahn speeds.

So you're down to 75% capacity, with the first 10% lost to the cold of winter and the rest lost to going 140km/h.

The long range Model Y has 600 km rating in ideal conditions, and applying the same loss you'd be at 450 km. The same calculation is 466 km for the upcoming model, more than your car's ideal rating.

So seems like you already have much better options available. You can also take 10 km/h off your speed to increase range notably (in any car), and you can go further for road trips outside the winter months.

> I value my road trips going smoothly FAR more than I value my daily commutes going smoothly. For this reason, it's VERY important for me for range to be increased.

Sure, but it remains a niche use-case, which is fine but unimportant for the industry and the general population and not what cars should be built or optimized for.

Range is a liability whenever not in use (batteries are heavy), and cars are always better when optimized for the normal use-case. That's why there's long range models, and it's also fine to take such roadtrips in an ICE should need be.
Well, it depends on how you measure competitive programming. I think for measuring it in O() terms - as every paper out there on data structure does -, Haskell is quite good for the task.
Yes, I said comparison sort.

And it is hard to beat, which is why the standard libraries of languages like C++, Rust, Go, C#, Java (etc) use some quicksort variant for their unstable sorts (and some mergesort variant when they need stability).

All of the above aren't forced to use comparison sorts, they just do; no other caveats required.
So I've found the claim on a fact-check website [0]. It claims that these numbers are not "mean tweets" but a wide range of criminal activity, including e.g. harassing in e-mail or "terrorism offences" and "threats of violence". Now some can argue that it shouldn't be a crime, nevertheless, I do not think that this proves your claim about

I agree. The article is unclear though.

For recreational users snorting (I think it's 'insufflate', rather than insulate), the DanceSafe link is clear that that's the method (it says 'snort 30-60mg').

As you say, you'd expect users to need a much higher dosage for snorting than IV.

Either way, the article has since been silently updated to remove the 100-300x claim that I took issue with, so either I, or someone else, managed to get the point across to the author.
Not so much purposefully closed source more that I don't want to make it complex by splitting out the data the app uses from the code (co-ordination problem when it comes to deploying that I don't want to deal with for a project of this size).

That's true, but the articles on negative implications are being selectively written. For instance, there's a deluge of articles about pollution from AI datacenters (and before that, crypto mining), but hardly a peep about pollution from the US healthcare system, or education, even though those are arguably far higher. As a result, such articles comes across as selectively written hit-pieces rather than objective reporting.

The author is more professional than the sean was, and conveys the correct amount of disgust we should all hold for this company and it's leadership.

The point of the essay was to be disrespectful of the CEO. Slightly less disrespectful than the CEO was, so IMO he still holds onto the high ground of ethics.

Please do choose team troll. The correct response to someone being a shitter, is not always to kill them with kindness. A lot of the time it is, but this time, I'm clearly on the authors side. He tried twice to be kind, was ignored and then insulted. When really he was owed a thank you, not to be disrespected.
I wonder about security of such designed chips. We've been demonstrated that apparently optimal architecture can lead to huge errors that create security flaws (spectre, Pacman for M1 etc).
A similar issue in Go, that I've encountered in real code: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27505#issuecomment-71370...

In a nutshell, if you want to use the death signal, which is very handy and useful, you also need to lock an OS thread so that it can't be destroyed. Fortunately I'm only spawning one process so I don't need to jump through hoops, I can just dedicate a thread to it, but it would be inconvenient to want to spawn lots of processes that way.

Speaking more generally, a lot of things that I learned in the 200xs apply to "processes", and things I just osmosed over the years as applying to "processes", were changed to apply to "threads" over the decades and a lot of people have not noticed that, even now. Even though I know this, my mental model of what is associated to a thread and what is associated to a process is quite weak, since I've not yet needed to acquire a deep understanding. In general I would suggest to people that if you are dealing with this sort of system programming that you at least keep this general idea in your head so that the thought pops up that if you're having trouble, it may be related to your internal beliefs that things related to "processes" are actually related to "threads" and in fact just because you did something like set a UID or something somewhere in your code doesn't necessarily mean that that UID will be in effect somewhere else.
My answer to that: it's a combination of a belief and lobbying.

The belief: the federal government can't do anything correctly, and wastes taxpayer money.

The lobbying: Comcast, and regional telephone oligopolies lobby to keep all governments, local, state, national, from providing internet services. The motives here vary, but probably come down to keeping a local or regional monopoly.

An unfortunate synergy, essentially.

I’m selling refurbished and upgraded Mac mini G4s as the ultimate machines for running software for the classic Mac OS over at https://os9.shop

Over at macos9lives.com a group of hackers figured out a way to get Mac OS 9 running on these late model G4s that previously never supported it. That combined with an SSD upgrade makes them close to the fastest machines that can run Mac OS 9.

I’ve taken advantage of this hack, now having sold about 80 -90 machines. But I’ve hit a wall with finding ways to advertise it. eBay has been okay. I tried Reddit Ads on the vintage Apple subreddit and they were so so—probably lost money doing it but got the word out. Google Search ads have surprisingly been ineffective. I’ve posted on various vintage Mac forums but they don’t allow formal advertising (otherwise I would buy it). I probably will try Facebook ads next. Open to other advertising ideas!

I've spent the last year or so immersing myself in the improv scene of a major city and I am convinced that in 50 years time people will look at a weekly improv session as being essential to your mental health in the same way going to the gym or participating in an activity is essential to your physical health. One person I met who is training to be a psychologist is even questioning whether traditional therapy is the best strategy for a lot of disorders because the results they are seeing people getting from improv are so astounding. It brings people of all age brackets together in a way I have never seen any other activity do before - it is a true community builder. I strongly urge anyone suffering from loneliness, depression or anxiety to seek out their nearest school and give it a go or if there's nothing nearby then seeing if you can take a couple of weeks out to do a summer intensive in a big city.
>Germany has really, really strong employee protection. Hard to fire, mandatory vacation, mandatory pensions, mandatory maternity and paternity leave, ect.

If there’s anything to learn from recent developments it is that democracy is fickle and definitely not the default state. But to me you’re still conflating commercial product success with the product being good or bad. If it was about the product, fundraising or marketing shouldn’t be among the biggest obstacles, since they have nothing to do with product quality or consumer benefits.

There were lots of those. Back when you could easily sell rubbish for 99¢ making copying popular apps possibly worthwhile. But there's still latitude for creativity. I came across this[1] Mac app at the end of last year which decorates your desktop with Christmas lights. Completely useless, but very fun and whimsical. I feel like there used to be more of this. There also used to be more creativity in functional apps too when development was less focussed on metrics/engagement. I feel like even the more fun indie apps started copying the 'big guys' with complex onboarding tutorials, gamification, and upselling. Maybe it was just because the platforms were newer and simpler back then. Maybe it's rose tinted glasses :)

I think it's pure AI hype to claim these are beyond human understanding, and I doubt that's what the professor really meant. There's real physical processes going on, and we can study them carefully to eventually learn how they work. We just don't understand them yet.

I doubt this was the essential point. Even if it is currently well intended and behaves perfectly, the "goodness" of government is irrelevant.

It is that you cannot rely on government to be good. So you need checks and balances and also privacy to shield you from government overreach.
No, air isn't clean by default. All air has particulates in it at various levels. There are natural particulates like forest fire smoke, blowing dust, and volcano emissions. And there are man-made particulates, dating back to the invention of fire but getting much worse with coal. All are harmful to some extent.

If you do something that causes air in one place to get 1 ppm dirtier and air in another place to get 1 ppm cleaner, and the populations are the same, the net impact on health cancels out.
