>In other words, Harvard already operates somewhat from their endowment, and can realize net endowment gains in spite of that.

The argument isn't that Harvard should never draw from its endowment, like it's saving for retirement or something. The argument is that they shouldn't raid endowments by doing additional withdraws to fund the current shortfall.

They want freedom for themselves. They're free to impose their will on others without judgement. That's the purpose.
Interest, military, and social security are the only things big enough to cut to fix the deficit much less pay down the debt.

The entire rest of the government could be free and we would still be screwed if we don’t make cuts where it counts.
Friend did a lot of work in Africa. Got back to the US and starts getting symptomatic and says to himself “I think I got malaria”.

Goes to the biggest university hospital nearby he can find.

Was initially dismissed but waited it out for the infectious diseases specialist and they quickly agreed with his self-diagnosis.

They kept them in hospital for a few days so a parade of clinical students/residents could come by for the specialist to say: “this man has malaria”
I don't believe that it takes 300,000 people to assemble iPhones.

The "cost" argument is a thinly veiled way of saying, "We don't want to pay people in America American wages."

Our contemporary American lifestyle requires commensurate income and Apple and all these other companies can also afford to pay US wages. Just look at the money they give shareholders.
This looks nice! I have chatgpt+ and wanted to give my gf access, so I set her up with an app (chatbox) connected to my api key, but it doesn't seem like it can do web searches so it's stuck at the training cutoff date. If I provide my own API key here, can you do web searches with it?

I've never had a Facebook account, other than a burner for the brief time I spent investigating VR via Oculus Quest 2.

I almost had one once, some time in the very early 2010s. After first login, the first prompt I saw was for my email account's authentication details, so that Facebook could "find my contacts for me."

I forget the exact language they used, but I know a boundary test when I see one, and I completed neither that nor any other further onboarding step, but immediately "deleted" the account - understanding this would not actually remove any information, but would deny me at least the temptation to develop what I could see would become a dangerous habit.

I don't exactly think I blame people who were slower to catch on, which is a relief, considering that appears at one time or another to have been about half the species and it would be a lot of work. But I would incline much less to say that mistrusting Facebook as early as 2018 would have been cynical, than that still to have trusted them so late seems remarkably naïve.
Actually Instagram was iOS only at the announced time of acquisition. It was a pretty big bet at the time and almost no one believed it was worth $1B.
Thank you,

Let me start by saying that I am not American and I am not your enemy. Also, I am genuinely trying to understand the truth about these matters, with an open mind to the possibility that it's messy and complicated and I might not be capable of understanding it. I hope that provides context for what follows.

Honestly, I am not sure if it's okay. It reminds me of the anti-racist movement, in that the action almost feels like it's anti-fascist. It's using a fascist action (use of state power to enforce conformity), to undo a fascist policy (suppression of political opposition and dissent). This reminds me of anti-racism, which uses one type of racism to compensate for a different type of past-racism.

What I find interesting is the very last statement in your post. I am not aware of anything Biden did, but it does seem like Obama did something very similar with the DEI policies forced on universities which came with funding implications for non-compliance. It was a different time, everyone was upset about the great financial crisis of 2008, and on their surface I am sure these policies sounded like a good thing. In the end though these policies were very much a form of facism in that it was a state sponsored effort to suppress political opposition. This probably sounds like I am defending the political views of racists, but really I am defending the political views of people who believe leadership roles should be filled based on the merit of the individual and their ability to take care of those in their charge, and not based on the color of their skin, their gender or sexual preferences.

As I have tried to unpack all this, the perspective that is growing for me is that for the last 20 or so years both administrations have been taking steps towards fascism while hiding their fascist actions behind intentions that sound anti-fascist. If this perspective is even partially correct, it would explain why so much of this has been so confusing for me.
Most of the bookkeeping in how to make calls should be covered in the same details for how anything else makes a call? I'm not clear what makes this different? If necessary, you could add specific data types for this, but the general ideas are almost certainly close enough to there that a whole new thing doesn't bring in too much?
Of course there is such a thing.

Lifestyle inflation is a known phenomenon which you (and your spouse) can choose to avoid if you prioritize it, not some immutable rule of nature.

If the treadmill of accumulation that lets someone believe "there's no such thing as enough" ever stops, I think they would be shocked at how quickly they realize what enough actually means.
> Pretty much all drivers agree that most or all of these requirements are reasonable

Twitter used to be a great source of taxi drivers bitching about getting caught on their phone, driving dangerously, driving drunk, no insurance, expired MOT, driving while disqualified, speeding.

I can continue but you can just watch Cycling Mikey for more examples. Oh, then look up the articles written on how much drivers hate him for checks notes reporting drivers for breaking the law.

But no, it’s cyclists who hate having their behaviour policed.

Walker gave a talk recently at Long Now on Assembly Theory that sounds like it did a better job of getting the point across:

financial incentives for Greenlanders, including the possibility of .... an annual payment of about $10,000 per Greenlander.

officials believe those costs could be offset by new revenue from the extraction of Greenland’s natural resources, which include rare earth minerals, copper, gold, uranium and oil.

Reuters reports: The vision for Greenland ... could include a hub for artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, space launches, micro nuclear reactors and high-speed rail.

The discussions reflect a longstanding Silicon Valley movement to establish low-regulation cities globally, including in the United States
Yeah the Cambodian-Vietnamese war wasn't colonialism.

" In the first major clash between the two former allies, the Kampuchean Revolutionary Army (KRA) invaded the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc on 1 May 1975 (barely 24 hours after Saigon fell), claiming it was historically part of Kampuchea's territory.[17]

Nine days later, on 10 May 1975, the KRA continued its incursion by capturing the Thổ Chu Islands, where it executed 500 Vietnamese civilians. "
I'm positive that OP understands the reason for an FTC approval. Why did you cut the quote off in the middle of the sentence? The point is about why it's acceptable for the FTC to approve something, and then years later come back and change the decision.
The dubious part is claiming that a large enough lookup table is not intelligent. It's basically asserted on the grounds "well of course it isn't", but no meaningful arguments are presented to this effect.

If there are 7 different grocery stores in driving distance of my house and two of them merge, I've still got a choice of 6 stores so there's still reasonable competition.

If there are 3 different grocery stores and two of them merge, though? That's a different matter.

And if 1 of the remaining 2 is the zero-waste organic store that only rich people and hippies use? It might not even be providing all that much competition.

Close to 20 years later, people still complain about the ribbon. (1)

I think that says something about it.

1. And not just "grumble, grumble... get off my lawn..." Many of its controls are at best obscure. It hides many of them away. It makes them awkward to reach.

Many new users seem as clueless, or even more so, than pre-existing customers who experienced the rug pull. At least pre-ribbon users knew there was certain functionality that they just wanted to find.

(And I still remember how MS concurrently f-cked with Excel shortcut keys. Or seemed to have, when I next picked Excel up after a couple year hiatus from being a power user.)
AMD GPUs actually have fairly powerful hardware. However, despite being open source, calling them "developer friendly" is rather generous. Just look at how TinyCorp struggled with AMD ROCm before resorting to writing a completely sovereign stack.
Something being predicted poorly, hypothetically, doesn’t mean you can’t rectify a past mistake, right?

Not specifically related to this case, necessarily, but if you let an acquisition go through and discover a decade later that it was, in fact, anticompetitive (and intentionally so), presumably you would still try to break up the resulting monopoly, even if you didn’t predict it would happen?
Or, like, we could stop ravaging the oceans by industrial fishing, stop pretending magical technology will save the day, and try to limit our resource consumption to sustainable levels?

Humanity’s relationship with animals is so schizophrenic. On the one hand, let’s try to learn how to talk to cute dolphins and chat with them what it’s like to swim!, and on the other, well yeah that steak on my table may have once lead a subjective experience before it was slaughtered, and mass-farming it wrecks the ecosystem I depend on to live, but gosh it’s so tasty, I can’t give that up!
Even if you don't like Huberman, it's very worthwhile to learn from someone like Hyman.
> I honestly have no idea why the recruiters from these places have such a superiority complex that they need to belittle people like that.

Many, many years ago I sat next to HR in an open plan office while on a freelance gig.

They treated almost all candidates like subhumans, both when talking about the candidates within the team and when speaking on the phone to candidates.

They handled everyone from factory worker and janitorial roles, to specialists to director level. I very clearly got the impression that they only treated candidates well if those candidates could turn into people who had any power over them within the org.

I've carried that with me since and I often recognize it in HR staff I interact with now.
Just watch what happens when they exercise their Constiutional right to "say whatever it wants."

Stephen Miller made it clear this morning:
"Under this country, under this administration, under President Trump, people who hate America, who threaten our citizens, who rape, who murder, and who support those who rape and murder are going to be ejected from this country."

If the government decides you "hate America" or your business supports some hypothetical rapist/murderer they imagined, you're going to end up ejected from this country without due process.
I wonder what's the status quo on the non-LLM side; are we able to manually decode sound patterns to recognize dolphin's communication to some degree? If that's the case, I guess this may have a chance.
Incorrect. Removing the watermark constitutes a derivative work. To distribute this work you need permission from the copyright owner to be legal. This you will almost certainly not get since the point of watermarks is to keep people from stealing copyrighted material.
Can you show me something from that time that shows this was the dominate sentiment? Because I remember everyone laughing the Facebook would pay so much for such a simple app.
“Chemistry literacy” is very poor in the general public because it has very few everyday applications, so everything learnt at school just drops out of people’s brains.

That’s why your hear nonsense like “It has chemicals in it!!!”

It’s also why you regularly see science fiction where characters can grow in seconds, totally breaking the law of conservation of matter.

DAs of all kinds have enormous discretion. A significant part of our legal system is entrusted to them to act honorably, regardless of what judges and legislators say. DAs can't force outcomes that judges say are incorrect, but DAs can and do choose not to prosecute obvious crimes, and there are not great checks against that power beyond replacing them with the political process.

And even when cases are brought, the DoJ needs to defend them. See a number of cases that were very far along in the court system that the Biden administration was pursuing, that the Trump DoJ just quit defending. They simply no longer have a lawyer, and functionally cannot proceed.
I graduated from Mit Sloan with an MBA degree more than 10 years ago. Like you I was it sounds like a first generation college student. MIT Sloan was absolutely a nightmare when it came to helping me and other students find jobs. It sounds like the broader school is an equal disaster. I know from working with people at Sloan on a continued basis that the school (ie the MIT Sloan CDO or career development office) continues to be atrocious and perhaps the rest of MIT is the same. I can help you by giving you some feedback on your resume and a chat if you want. Derus @ alum.mit.edu
Let’s put your uncertainty to rest: at the extreme, any function execution spends both time and energy, both of which are observable side-effects.

So yes, you’re right that there no such thing as an absolutely pure function. “Pure” always assumes that all dependencies are pure themselves. Where it’s a reasonable assumption and whether it’s still useful or not depends on your program: assuming an API call to be pure is certainly not reasonable for many use cases, but it is reasonable enough to be useful for others.
I've been kicking around idea for a similar open source project, with the caveats that:

1. I'd like the backend to be configured for any LLM the user might happen to have access to (be that the API for a paid service or something locally hosted on-prem).

2. I'm also wondering how feasible it is to hook it up to a touchscreen running on some hopped-up raspberry pi platform so that it can be interacted with like an Alexa device or any of the similar offerings from other companies. Ideally, that means voice controls as well, which are potentially another technical problem (OpenAI's API will accept an audio file, but for most other services you'd have to do voice to text before sending the prompt off to the API).

3. I'd like to make the integrations extensible. Calendar, weather, but maybe also homebridge, spotify, etc. I'm wondering if MCP servers are the right avenue for that.

I don't have the bandwidth to commit a lot of time to a project like this right now, but if anyone else is charting in this direction I'd love to participate.
The way I understand it: if the instruction are at the top, the KV entries computed for "content" can be influenced by the instructions - the model can "focus" on what you're asking it to do and perform some computation, while it's "reading" the content. Otherwise, you're completely relaying on attention to find the information in the content, leaving it much less token space to "think".
It's almost as if people want to create companies that satisfy somebody's need, instead of pretending to be large so it gets brought...
I agree that Mark Hyman is very worthwhile.

I just disagree that "not about Huberman" is accurate as a description of a long conversation between Huberman and someone else.
What I never fully understood is that there is some implicit assumption about the dynamics of the system. So what that there are more microstates of some macrostate as far as counting is concerned? We also have to make assumptions about the dynamics, and in particular about some property that encourages mixing.
If you install the `podman-docker` package, you get compatibility with docker commands. If you have errors during runtime, it's probably something in your container/config that's assuming a docker socket/runtime. Some of which can be remedied by pointing `DOCKER_HOST` to your podman socket, etc.
All funding was lower in 2012, across the board. Moreover, inflation hadn’t skyrocketed, valuations weren’t as foamy, etc.
No, this is not the case. This is a recent and never before seen phenomenon. Please, do not try to downplay it. And, if you do, do not do it dishonestly.
We have been using Meilisearch with firebase for years and it has always worked great.
I just wish they would update the extension on the firebase extensions hub[1] because the current version available uses node 14 which is not supported by cloud functions on GCP so the extension is not usable at all.
What's weird is that the latest version available on their repo has upgraded the node version but they are not offering it in the extensions hub.

here's a Techcrunch article from the time: https://techcrunch.com/2012/04/09/facebook-to-acquire-instag...

> Last year, documents for a standalone Facebook mobile photo sharing app were attained by TechCrunch. Now it seems Facebook would rather buy Instagram which comes with a built-in community of photographers and photo lovers, while simultaneously squashing a threat to its dominance in photo sharing.
My understanding is that frontier researchers will work for companies that will let them publish papers and discuss them with their peers.

When you're an engineer at the tier of these AI researchers, winning an extra 100k/year on top of you current 500k (numbers out of my ass) is not worth it vs getting name recognition. Being known as one of the authors that made the transformer for example will enable you work with other bright minded individuals and create even better things.

So essentially these commercial companies have "we'll let you publish papers when you work for us" as a perk.
A university research lab is controlled by usually one professor or a very small number of professors. They can decide to move to another university and take the lab with them.
This is a joke, everyone made fun of FB paying 1 BILLION dollars for Instagram, they didn't even have an android app at the time.
You don't need everything to be generic to have safety as the API provided by the object using the linked list can maintain safety by making it difficult to do the wrong thing and being correct by construction. Of course that doesn't stop a user of a library ignoring the safe way to handle types which use intrusive linked list nodes but that same user is likely going to shoot themselves in the foot regardless even when given a "safer" interface.

Trying to write a safer version of the above without losing the performance / advantages takes you into the realm of ATS2 https://www.cs.bu.edu/~hwxi/atslangweb/ which quickly becomes more difficult to work with than practical (and no, rust can't solve this with it's implementation of resource types as far as I'm aware).

So yes, doing the above makes sense when the problem demands it as allocating memory you don't need when there's a clear way to represent a graph without it just wastes cycles on memory management you didn't even need to do.
Without proper anti-trust and monopoly enforcement, no, small businesses cannot compete with megacorps who have giant war chests to fund the literal destruction of whatever niche you call your market.

Megacorps are destructive to market forces in general.

Small businesses died because we fed all the IGAs to Walmart, through Reagan's absolutely braindead "what if we just don't prevent monopolies?" policy.

It turns out, destroying the economy of local communities so that Walmart shareholders can be even wealthier while average Americans only get a few cents cheaper on some products.... at least until the monopoly has consolidated control and can just keep raising prices for the rest of history while selectively dropping prices anywhere someone tries to compete only serves the goddamned shareholders, not Americans.

Most rural places had small grocers. Now people who live in those places have to drive an hour to Walmart, and the local economy no longer has anyone working at the local grocer. The building that used to house the local grocer now has a fourth generation of whatever sketch dollar store company bought it this year, which employs exactly one human being from the local community, and the products are terribly priced, meaning not only did we lose the money staying local with whatever kind of more expensive IGA we replaced, we didn't even get better prices for it!

Monopolies are a huge percentage of the problem. America's rural communities are dying partially because all the local businesses have been replaced by national behemoths so literally every single day to day purchase you make ships more money out of the local economy. Nobody can have a job in a rural community because every dollar that finds its way to that community gets shipped out to Walmart HQ instead of flowing around and paying tradespeople and buying local products and services.
America is starting to seem like the world depicted in V for Vendetta.
