Yes, our system is a multiverse of psychological distortions and senseless inequality. Some people straight out of university with no skills will receive large offers from multiple companies and will use that to negotiate themselves a big pay package then they will feel good about themselves and feel like they earned it...

But in reality it's just an illusion. Companies want to hire people who are delusional and believe that they deserve what they got. Big tech doesn't really need these people or their skills, in reality. They're merely cogs in the big machine. Big tech could easily have found someone better for a lower price; they get so many applications. The whole thing is like a psychological operation. They don't want to build up an elite class which understands how broken the system is. They want a delusional elite class who believe the grotesque myth of the meritocracy. People who don't believe in meritocracy are a huge threat; they cannot be allowed anywhere near the elite because the system is so unmeritocratic, it wouldn't take many interactions to snap the elite out of their comfortable trance.

Business leaders start getting imposter syndrome after they interact with people who understand reality. Business leaders sometimes start viewing themselves as mavericks/mafia boss and sometimes start behaving in dodgy ways.

It's like if you do something and you later discover that it was causing harm; you can either feel bad and correct your behaviour or you reinvent your self-image as a 'bad guy' and double down on the harm... Most people choose the latter, unfortunately.

Reverse Engineering a PCB is a well known field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCB_reverse_engineering); but you still have to have some knowledge of individual components, math, physics, and theory before you can get started with this.

There is plenty of material and videos on the web if you search for it; also a book The Art of PCB Reverse Engineering: Unraveling the Beauty of the Original Design by Ng Keng Tiong.
could this possibly be a long term strategy to eliminate china as a threat?

ie, Huge tariffs on China means US doesnt buy from china, Huge tariffs FROM china means us doesnt SELL to china...

For some reason, this makes me think of Strong Bad. Probably because of the sbemail "sibbie", in which The Cheat does drop a phat beat under Strong Bad's reading of the email, much to the latter's consternation.

> I think people get confused into thinking that democracy is about voting when it is should be about reducing prolonged concentrations of power

Voting is the definition and core mechanism of democracy: Government by the consent of the governed, to protect their rights, their lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

What's bizarre is, probably in a place where you have the benefits of centuries of overwhelming success, your extreme attempts to redefine it.

cui bono?, other than dictators. What has worked better than democracy?

> if your culture does not support the concept of good "democratic" governance, and no one strives for the institutions and constitutions to support it, you might be better off with a benevolent dictator, for as long as they last before a not-so-benevolent one.

Which culture? Democracy has been an incredible success all over the world - unprecedented success in history in most places it's taken hold.

Yours are the old propaganda of dictators - our 'culture', that undefined nonsense people cite for their prejudices, isn't compatible. The question is, why do you take up their cause?

They also love that you are sitting on the sidelines distracted, criticizing, rather than acting as a democratic citizen.

The issue is there's plan b: spill your data to L1 cache.

Whatever plan you have needs to be far faster than L1 cache to even make sense. I can imagine some very heavy register-pressure situations where registers are much better than cache accesses.

I think this is a real effect. Dating certainly has a version of this dynamic.
When the FAANGs stocks were soaring and they handed out options like candy, even low level devs at those tech companies were making the kind of money usually reserved for medical doctors and attorneys. There was a huge gulf between SV pay and pretty much everywhere else.

Now, those companies have mostly lost the luster they used to have, and the comp differences aren't as large.
As a long-time laptop Linux user, I'd say that "suspend to RAM" is adequate lately, and booting from scratch is paradoxically often faster than restoring from sleep, even on an NVMe.
I think we might disagree in terms of the kinds of advertising we're talking about.

The best advertising for me is showing me a product and showing me how it's used -- the "Coca Cola will make you have friends and have a good time" style ads could be construed as manipulative, I totally get that, but if I see an ad that just says "here's the product, here's what it does" for a product that _actually_ solves a problem I have, that's pretty great in my book, and is a win-win for me and whoever makes the product.
Great way to put it. If you are interested in a more elaborate description, checkout the intro to ‘The Untethered Soul’.

To the people here saying this is just meditation: the problem is that meditation is a solution to a problem most people don’t know they have.

I like this author’s post because of the Becky metaphor. The Untethered Soul goes into detail as to what happens if you keep paying attention to the voice inside your head.

This problem focused approach is more likely to get people meditating than just telling them about the benefits of meditation.

It's very imperfect - like every human institution ever - but still democracy has enormous power. Why do you think so many invest so much trying to manipulate voters? What are they spending the money on?

Also, fundraising is a signal of democratic appeal. Some fundraise with mass collections of smaller donations.

Still, I agree that money has too much influence. So what do you think, as a democratic citizen, should we do about the influence of money? It's our country. The moneyed influences love that you are distracted, on the sidelines, debating rather than acting.

I literally just had this printed, following that same blog post. Would recommend Whitewalls, it was a very high quality print. I got the 12x18 size, kind of regret not getting it bigger, but I didn't have the wall space.
Reminds me of the situation the US car manufacturers have been facing. If you ignore the rest of the world, then you get left behind and no one overseas buys your products anymore. You effectively cut yourself off from the majority of your customers.
Don’t most of the chain restaurants serve essentially factory made food that is rehabilitated in the kitchen? Whereas I think most fancy restaurants I go to make the food from scratch. The latter seems better to me in theory, so I wonder if I value “made from scratch” more than you? Fancy restaurant food tends to have much more nuance and depth of flavor IME. Of course this doesn’t hold 100% of the time, I’ve certainly had bad food from expensive restaurants before.
Good thing all of us here are following (and extolling) the advice to never reuse passwords, espcially when ones device is in an evidence locker and subject to controlled access by authorized personnel

I'd be happy to give an example I gave below: rake hands.

I hate the step after raking where you have to use the rake and one hand to carry the leaves to the bin. There was an ad for "rake hands" where you just hold a small hand-formed rake in each hand and scoop them both.

Twenty bucks, vastly improved yardwork experience, and I would have literally never thought to look for something like that.
BTW, I'd love to see a large model designed from scratch for efficient local inference on low-memory devices.

While current MoE implementations are tuned for load-balancing over large pools of GPUs, there is nothing stopping you tuning them to only switch expert once or twice per token, and ideally keep the same weights across multiple tokens.

Well, nothing stopping you, but there is the question of if it will actually produce a worthwhile model.

I just chose this step for calculations, as it's the most energy intensive part of my AI workflow. Upscaling / extending to get a usable result is really fast by comparison, and I only do it for a few images. It sort of rounds down to zero.

Most of the energy cost is how many images I have to generate to get a satisfactory one (say 100 with a decent prompt). Looking at the broader picture, the biggest energy cost of all is hiring a human designer for layout / typography and to produce print-ready files. Then managing the manufacturer, haha.

A bit off topic, but hopefully something that will brighten your day: I make physical products, so they have to be perfect (it also means I deal in DPI, not pixels). AI speeds up the number of concepts I can generate and send to contractors. I don't try to copy anyone's specific style, that would be boring. I'm sure there are less wholesome uses of this AI thing, but I feel like I've stumbled into something I'm comfortable with.

Believe it or not, I use all this to sell antiques. Like, genuine physical artifacts made by humans hundreds of years ago. I like to tell the story of the era they are from, bring it to life a little with printed supplements. No LLMs for the writing though, I do the research and writing myself, I enjoy it too much. I don't make much money with it, but it's fun, and a way to tell my country's history.

Same here. I started an in-office job recently as the company’s highest ranking engineer and my productivity has plummeted vs WFH.

I found myself having to allocate mental bandwidth to my environment to allow for the possibility of being interrupted by others, so I ended up both less productive and more tired.

What a nonsense idea, you'd need to nationalise news, in the USA, right now this would not go to well, imagine Trump having the only news outlet...
I have always believed that Chain of Thought basically acts as a form of regularization. LLMs are fundamentally next token predictors without any form or notion of logic, reasoning etc and is as likely (as a probabilistic model) to produce a creative response as something based on facts/principles (or anything that resembles "reasoning").

Asking the LLM to think step by step simply biases it towards the latter. It's still a stochastic parrot but now it sounds logical and that happens to be useful in some cases, regardless of whether we can agree if it's "reasoning".
it's not even a golden rectangle :)

Based on how often they pull in updated bits from FreeBSD (pretty much never), an Apple fork of Linux would be more or less Linux 2.4 today.

I don't know what the loss that open source suffers is in this context?

I don't think Apple would need to spend less time or money on their kernel grafted ontop of Linux 2.4 vs their kernel grafted on top of FreeBSD 4.4

That fails to understand how power in exceptional situations persists: namely that it still must be supported by key stakeholders.

If a leader were to summarily arrest large numbers of random citizens, suddenly they'd lose the support of citizens, one of the key pillars keeping them in power.

Which is why you see empowered and pervasive secret police institutions in societies like this -- you require a credible and effective alternative to popular support.
I've actually noticed that; perhaps it's easier to scam/sell crap on Amazon now than eBay - and so eBay becomes actually usable again.
The funny thing is so much of the advertising industry seems like embezzlement or fraud. So much of the time money is being pumped into this industry unnecessarily, things like Coke could not pay and suffer no loss in profit. It seems like some nonsense to keep money within first world nations or something. Just money going to a gamble which doesn't stand up to basic scrutiny as reasonable.
It's a long weekend over here, so I managed to load up the code, BOM, KiCAD files, production files, and assembly instructions. Also some scope trace images of what the signal should look like at different stages:

I didn't specifically design this for other people to easily replicate, but should not be too hard with some solder paste and a hot air rework station.

I am thinking outside blackboard ones, where owners write message in chalk [0] - they don't pay anyone to write the words, nor do they pay anyone to "install" it (= take it out).

I suppose the sign itself must be paid for... but many eateries are using the same signs for menus, so if owner re-purposed one of the menu signs, is there money involved? Or does owner have to dig in garbage bins to find the blackboard for free? What about writing messages straight on the wall? What about printing signs on the printer your own and taping them to the wall?

Now, don't get me wrong, I think it would be an overall improvement if those professionally-made outdoor signs get replaced by artisanal handwritten (or at least handmade) ones, but I don't think that this is what the original idea was about.

Of course most married people considering a job offer would discuss it, but that doesn't mean the person making the claim isn't actually just using a delaying tactic.

(For example, maybe they already discussed it with their spouse. Or they're going to discuss it in the next hour, but they are saying this when their goal is to effectively delay for a week.)

That's just one example of commonplace lying.

A lot of people will openly lie, and think that's normal. Even most of these advice articles for job-hunting are full of habitual corporate-standard lying.

But not all people are like that, and don't want to hire corporate-standard liars.
It's actually the simplest scheme. Reparse from the top whenever you need to query a setting. When you see one, exit. No need to even bother to store an intermediate representation. No idea if this matches the actual ssh implementation, but that's the way many historical parsers worked. The idea of cooking your text file on disk (into precious RAM!) is fairly modern.
>A difference without distinction. From the financial point of view, the cheque goes from the Government of Canada to the dealership. Whether the dealership then cuts another cheque or simply discounts the vehicle $5000 is irrelevant because in either case the money has to enter the dealership's coffers.

It's a huge difference. Dealerships cannot just make a claim and collect the money. It's not theirs, even though they collect it.
So the article contains the data for the detected concentration. And it's basically a nothingburger.

For example, the samples contained 37 to 80 micrograms per liter of cadmium. The safety limit for _drinking_ _water_ is 5 micrograms. So diluting the retardant with 10 times the water makes it safe enough to drink.

Lead content in the samples was wildly different, from 7 micrograms to 800, indicating that the sampling procedure itself was unreliable.

Similar story for chromium, 100 micrograms is the safe level, and 200-300 micrograms were in the tested samples.

In fact, only arsenic is concerning, with roughly 10-60 times the allowed concentration for the drinking water.
Do you always answer the door for Jehovah's Witnesses, alternative gas companies, or posters? Usually, people put "No soliciting" signs on their doors and in their yard. They get irritated, if not irate, when these people ring the doorbell. How is advertising any different?

I see it as a privacy issue.

Why would we want more of a monoculture? We've put so many eggs in one basket already. I hope we see more diversity in kernels, not further consolidation.

Taken a different way, it feels similar to suggesting Apple should rebase safari on chromium.

> Molting is one of the features that makes difficult for arthropods to reach great sizes

Also, chitin becomes too heavy. Somehow, it's connected to body mass increasing as the cube of length, but I don't remember exactly how. Maybe the chitin legs would have to be too strong.

> their skeleton and tegument cannot grow between moltings

To clarify an essential aspect: because their rigid exoskeleton can't grow, they must shed and replace it for their body to grow.
