No you seem as baffled as I am. But when people try to hide information, revealing the truth often takes a MONUMENTAL effort. Genuinely, I’m not sure why you think this wouldn’t be a burden or why you’d be so dismissive?
russia hasn't been cutoff economically still. 3 years and the economy is going down but not as fast as it should have. The leaders of the west think they are playing a game here with pros and cons. There are no pros and a huge con with number 3 on it. How the fuck can anyone still trade with russia.

This should have been retaliation of the western world years ago.
I think you captured exactly my distaste for this article.

I understand it’s about coming to terms with these feelings and uses these specific examples.

But the examples used in the article seem unrealistic to begin with, as if the article insists that a plurality of people feel this way about youth and aging.

I just don’t think that’s really the case.
From the link in the article: https://www.lifeblood.com.au/blood/learn-about-blood/plasma/... it sounds like they test people who are RH negative who give plasma. So if you know you are a RH negative man or woman past childbearing years you can donate plasma and ask. I've given plasma before and it wasn't mentioned but I'm RH+.

> morals are merely the product of what seems to be legal at the moment?

I’d personally say it depends on the crime. If you’re laundering money to support a worthy cause, I’m not okay with it legally though I might be morally sympathetic. If the guys at the top aren’t following the law, the weight I put on the former is lessened and my sympathies in the latter may win out.
Any competent exec should be able to logically weigh the consequences of their actions. If something will get them fired and they choose to do it anyway, they deserve to be fired. That's not a perverse incentive, it's weeding out incompetents.

I mean, yeah, they are saying that you can commit a crime and they won't punish you. That's what "suspending enforcement" means. I think what you mean is that "law and order" is usually applied to poor criminals, where as what is happening here is refusing to enforce laws on the rich criminals.
In my experience, yes. If you give blood, they will test it in all sorts of ways, and if you are identified as having an unusual helpful factor, they will reach out and encourage you to continue donating.
Presumably in the absence of tenure wages would have to increase.
Well it matches how corporations already operate, they brag about being in compliance with regulations, fda or any other, as if it’s something to be proud of. No, just barely satisfying the minimum quality standards is not something to aspire to.
He was donating plasma so I don't think it should have effected his iron much compared to whole blood donation.
If you go into history of some nations, e.g. in some regions of Italy, coops go much farther back than the 1800s (the modern form comes about in the 1800s though) and there is an ecosystem of coops to develop and be supported by gov't and each other. In the US though the support legal, financial, and common understanding is much less mature.
The Busy Beaver Game is not a single Busy Beaver, but the game where the objective is to locate the longest-running program with a given program size. What makes it non-computible is largely the fact that how long the program can run for is not known in advance.

If there is a cap on both the program size and the execution of any individual Busy Beaver, then it becomes computable by the trivial expedient of generating every single possible turing machine of the target size, executing each (stopping at the time limit), then returning the one that ran for the greatest number of steps and terminated.

In other words, the Busy Beaver Game is noncomputable because of the Halting Problem, and the Halting Problem is noncomputable because it lacks an upper bound in time.

Incidentally, bounding time also bounds output space because at each time unit at most one unit of output may be written.
What problem do you want to solve for yourself.

I think that is a promise that is doomed to failure.

Something we have learned as a civilization over the past ~70 years is that deterministic algorithms are an incredibly powerful thing. Designing processes that have a guaranteed, reliable result for a known input is a phenomenal way to scale up solutions to all kinds of problems.

If we want AI to help us with that, the best way to do that is to have it write code.

It's not about "other" having a meaning unto itself; rather it's about having a placeholder in the enum "space" (for older languages that implement it as an integer) so that customers can introduce their own variants. My library would then happily accept any value passed in, but only act upon the enum values that the library itself specifies. The customer would be entirely responsible for making sure their own variants behave well.

This is not a common thing to do, of course, but when your customers are clamoring for what would actually be a useful feature for your product, even this somewhat ugly hack is a lot better than saying "no".

> The obvious caveat here is any situation where you need global tables

A lot of people still end up storing data that's not frequently updated in a traditional OLTP database like Postgres.

However:

I think it always helps to think about these problems as "how would you do it in Cassandra/DynamoDB?"

In the case of Cassandra/DynamoDB, the relevant data (e.g. user ID, channel ID, etc) is always in the partitioning key.

For Durable Objects, you can do the same thing by building a key that's something like:

```
// for a simple keys:
env.USER_DO.idFromName(userId);

// or for composite keys:
env.DIRECT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL_DO.idFromName(`${userAId}:${userBId}`); // assumes user A and B are sorted
```

I've spoken with a lot of companies using _only_ this architecture for Durable Objects and it's working well.
Those numbers are for the wrong line items, and the WH press secretary was wrong about the source of those funds. Both of those were out of the state department budget, which (putting aside the present murky status) did not oversee USAID at the time.
I've tried to calculate this.

I used copilot for 14 days and every time I used copilot and found it benefits me (saved me time), I wrote a check mark on a sheet of paper. Every time I tried to use it and it led me down a rabbit hole or simply didn't do much, I wrote a minus sign.

In the end there were roughly the same number of checks and minuses. Granted-- it wasn't the best experiment in the world and quite subjective.

It's an extremely difficult problem because you end up with drug addicts either way and those people aren't productive.

Scratching an itch assures that you have some personal involvement. But it does not insure market fit - sometimes we obsess about something that the market has not noticed, or has noticed but truly is indifferent to. You imply several attempts. How certain are you that it was all cases of your personal problems being irrelevant to the market, rather than other problems (feature set / product mgt, marketing, sales, etc such as lack of process compatibility, buyers perceived requirements that you did not address, etc, etc)

Some people suggest launching the marketing / sales first. Fraud then probably. But having more than yourself as a feature guide right from the start sounds more like it: either existing competition or some potential clients at least willing to talk to you - which also helps pricing effectively.

This is an off-piste philosophical take. It overwrites a corporation’s management’s fiduciary duty to its owners with one closer to a charity’s.
yes i have been thinking about this for some time. One other thing with zettle I'm not sure was implemented here is you can have topic notes that just refer / summarize other notes; it would be very interesting if these could be autonomously created by some kind of clustering algorithm based on underlying links. Kind of like summary-of-summary.

Also curious if there might be some improvements if you dont rely on semantic similarity and just do all the pairwise "how related are these memories and in what way" LLM test like https://www.superagent.sh/blog/reag-reasoning-augmented-gene....

SEEKING WORK - Data scientist, remote worldwide, email in profile.

I'm a data scientist, things have been rough during the recession but are starting to firm up now. I'm looking for hard problems
to solve. I'm not interested in cube-farm DS, but hair on fire "This is causing lemon-law recalls and we can't solve it."[1] type problems.

I love avant garde problems, and have a pretty unique toolset (LLMs+KB, OR+ML, etc). I've worked with names you know in automotive, tech, and other spaces.

I've worked on projects including current en vogue large language models, knowledge extraction, automotive part failure prediction, translation, maintenance optimization, automated sports highlights, and more. I've also done some more interesting work including vehicle route planning in constrained environments.

Get in touch. Even if you're unsure, get in touch. Referals welcome. Email in profile.

A hellish irony then that weakening the near-monopoly on search redounds to strengthening the duopoly of web browsers.
This is real Roger Penrose, but why is this interview on YT channel with 7k subscribers? Who is the interviewer? Does he have any clue what he asks? Can he comprehend the answers?

I think Chrome Remote Desktop works pretty well. It's easy enough to configure for use and put a link to the host page in the browser toolbar. I might setup RustDesk if I get the time, it was in a state of flux last time I looked at it, but it seems to be more solid now.
I've been waiting to see some paper that is like "a shallow tree of key/values is all you need" to tackle model plasticity.

AI memory seems predominately a tension between compression and lookup speed.

These large vectors are keys for lookups, a language of expression, and a means of compression. Learning new things is always easier when you can map it back to something you already know. There's this page about forest fire simulations in a scientific computing book I read back in college more than a decade ago. I remember it viscerally because I've solved 100 different problems with that as its seed. I can barely remember anything else in the book. I don't remember it because I read it over and over, I remember it because it was useful and kept being useful.

If some new technique or idea is 90% similar to something I already know, I'll learn it easily. If it's 60%, I need to churn it around, put in a lot of learning effort. If it's 0%, it's noise from this angle.

> 4. Establishes meaningful links based on similarities
> 5. Enables dynamic memory evolution and updates

Wondering how much compression occurs in #5.
Unfortunately since these sorts of arrangements are pretty standard nowadays, companies that don't include them will be at a disadvantage when looking to hire executives.

So this is unlikely to change.
Whether it should or not depends on whether you understand a 403 as a refusal to let you do the given method against the given resource at all, or as a refusal to do this one specific request. The HTTP spec (as I’ve just learned) does support the narrower interpretation if the server wishes it: the description for 403 is just that “[t]he server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it”, with no implications regarding other requests for this resource.
As a lifelong donor, 10+ gallons, I don't think we should be paid for blood. It takes just a lil bit of time. Banning payment avoids a ton of issues and overhead.

Echoing this - is there a commericialization play you're hoping to make?
Apologies if this response seems aggressive - this is just a topic I'm very passionate about :)

I think technically in languages like scheme, the opportunity would be to optimize other sorts of dispatches. The classic dispatch mechanism in scheme is the "assoc" style list-of-pairs lookup.

In this case, the "monomorphization" would be extracting runtime information on the common lookups that are taken. This is doable in a language like scheme, but it requires identifying parts of data structures that are less likely to change over time - where it makes sense to lift them up into hidden types and effectively make them "static".

Imagine if you could designate particular `(list (cons key value) ...)` value as "optimizable" - maybe even with a macro/function call : `(optimizable ((a 1) (b 2) ...))`

This would build a hidden shape for the association's "backbone" and give you back a shaped assoc list, and then you would be able to optimize all uses of `(assoc ...)` on lists of that kind in the same way you optimize shaped objects.

A plumbing exposed version of this would just let you do `(let my-shape (make-shape '(prop1 prop2 ...)))` and later `(my-shape '(1 2 ...))` to build the shape-optimized association list.

It's kind of neat when you realize that almost everything the runtime type-inference regime in a JIT compiler does.. is enable eliding lookups across data structures where we can assume that some part of that data structure is "more static" than other parts.

In JS that data structure is a linked-list-of-hashtables, where the hashtable keys and the linked list backbone are expected to be stable.

But the general idea applies to literally any structure you'd want to do lookups across. If you can extract a 'conserved shape', you can apply this optimization.

If a single request frequently touches multiple partitions, your use cases may not work well.

It's the same deal as Cassandra & DynamoDB: use cases like chat threads or social feeds fit really well because there's a clear ownership hierarchy. e.g. message belongs to a single thread partition, or a social post belongs to a feed partition.
