Your source leans right-center, so probably good reason to suspect their reported top 1% AGI is low and their reported federal income tax estimate is high.

Vibes are totally different though. People go childfree by choice, whereas men go MGTOW because there __is no other choice__ (that they find easy or preferable). I've heard it described before as "men sent their own way (MSTOW)", which is fitting since one usually identifies with the label after many unsuccessful relationships.
Research is often (usually?) the property of the host university, though. Yeah labs are independently managed but the university is in at least one sense, and imo many more, still the institution both doing and selling the work
Sometimes the IRS is wrong, too, and you just mail them proof. Like if you forget to report your cost basis for a stock sale, they'll send you a letter and say "We're assuming the cost basis is zero, so here's what you owe!" and you just respond back with a letter that says "This is the cost basis, and here's a copy of my brokerage statement." and that's that. I've found dealing with the IRS actually quite straightforward and non-scary. As long as you have your paperwork in order. If you're careless about your records, then you're going to have a bad time.

People here have little idea about how Harvard works. Harvard is financially vulnerable. It is currently running on a deficiency considering the endowment. And Harvard can't freely use most endowment for personnels anyway. If the government takes away funding, Harvard will have a financial crisis. I guess the leadership made the decision in hope someone could stop the government before bad things happen but when bad things do happen, you will probably see mass layoffs of researchers in particular in life sciences and biomedical research.

There are so many interesting, off-label novel uses for drugs that have already been developed. Recently my wife & I adopted a kitten that developed FIP, a disease caused by a feline coronavirus that was nearly 100% fatal up until just a few years ago.

Turns out, a drug developed by Gilead Sciences (GS-441524) which is the active metabolite of remdesivir, is remarkably effective at treating the disease. It's a nucleoside analog, so it essentially is a slightly modified adenosine molecule which disrupts the virus RNA replication process.

Within 12 hours of the first dose our cat went from dying to making a full turnaround and complete recovery following treatment. For us it was truly a miracle drug, and it only gained awareness recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. It still isn't technically "approved" for this use case, but is prescribed off-label by vets as of 2024 once the FDA relaxed its position [2]. Folks needed to seek it out on the black market (and still do in some areas).

FPGA dev is just much more painful and more expensive than software dev at every step.

That's in no small part because the industry & tools seem to be stuck decades in the past. They never had their "GCC moment". But there's also inherent complexity in working at a very low level, having to pay attention to all sorts of details all the time that can't easily be abstracted away.

There's the added constraint that FPGA code is also not portable without a lot of extra effort. You have to pick some specific FPGA you want to target, and it can be highly non-trivial to port it to a different one.

And if you do go through all that trouble, you find out that running your code on a cloud FPGAs turns out to be pretty damn expensive.

So in terms of perf per dollar invested, adding SIMD to your hot loop, or using a GPU as an accelerator may have a lower ceiling, but it's much much more bang for the buck and involves a whole lot less pain along the way.

Recommend James C. Scott's "Seeing like a State" to learn more about the evolution of property valuation and rights. The systems of land rights in up to the 1500s-1800s were quite complex. The modern state imposed a uniform system of free-hold tenure which shifted the complexity to the downstream consequences.

I don’t believe there was any claim of asylum, rather he was ruled to be deported in around 2019, and held to be deportable on appeal, and then he failed to deport and was once again apprehended in 2025. His status changed when MS13 was designated a terrorist group (he was adjudicated to belong to MS13 during the deportation proceedings) which did away with his special request to not be sent to El Salvador.
I thought «well, that was almost painless». Most embedded code tends to be junk, so if it doesn’t work immediately it tends to become a bit of an odyssey.

I agree. I use it a lot but there is endless frustration when the C++ code I am working on gets both complex and largish. Once it gets to a certain size and the context gets too long they all pretty much lose the plot and start producing complete rubbish. It would be great for it to give some measure so I know to take over and not have it start injecting random bugs or deleting functional code.
It even starts doing things like returning locally allocated pointers lately.

Probability is a bunch of numbers that add to 1. Sometimes you can use this to represent subjective beliefs. Sometimes you can use it to represent objectively existing probability distributions. For example, an LLM is a probability distribution on a following token given previous tokens. If two "observers" disagree about an LLM's probability assigned to some token, then only at most one of them can be correct. So the probability is objective.
Why not use a smartphone for the user interface?
There is nothing quite like gcc or LLVM for FPGAs yet. FPGA tooling is still stuck in the world of proprietary compilers and closed software stacks. It makes the whole segment of the industry move slower and have higher friction. This is just starting to break with Yosys and related tools, which are showing wild advantages in efficiency over some of the proprietary tooling, but still only support a fraction of available chips, mostly the smaller ones.
The judge has less agency than the FTC attorneys, who could easily omit presenting evidence, examining witnesses, etc.
Not only is it material, it's a lynch pin to the entire case! If you keep reading:

>Considering these facts, and with no evidence to the contrary provided by the Government, the district court properly determined that “just as in any other contract facility, Defendants can and do maintain the power to secure and transport their detainees, Abrego Garcia included.” Dist. Ct. Opinion at 12. In its filings before this court, the Government makes no more than a naked assertion that Abrego Garcia “is in the custody of a foreign sovereign over whom America has no jurisdiction.” Mot. for Stay at 9. But the record demonstrates otherwise. There is no indication that Abrego Garcia has been charged with a crime in El Salvador or is being held there pursuant to the laws of El Salvador. On the contrary, Abrego Garcia is a detainee of the United States Government, who is being housed temporarily in El Salvador, “pending the United States’ decision on [his] long term disposition.” S.A. 149. Thus, the district court’s order does not require the United States to demand anything of a foreign sovereign.

Instrumental here is 'contract facility.'

The District court and Thacker's quote cite the El Salvador facility as a 'contract' facility. On that basis they argue it is not a demand on a foreign sovereign, but rather a detention by the USG.

No, they weren't.

Link Prefetching was in Firefox 1.0 and DNS Prefetching was added in Firefox 3.5. Both were supported in the first release of Chrome, but DNS Prefetching hadn't ratified as a standard yet. The first stable release of Chrome was on December 11th, 2008. Firefox 1.0 came out on November 9th, 2004 and Firefox 3.5 came out on June 30th, 2009. Firefox 2 (October 24, 2006) already had support for the control headers for DNS Prefetching, but the standard wasn't ratified until later, which is when Firefox brought it into support.

That's not to say that Chrome didn't have different approaches to predicting and triggering prefetching compared to Firefox, and that in some ways those methods were better, but both Link Prefetching and DNS Prefetching were ideas before Chrome exists, Link Prefetching was ratifed and in Firefox before Chrome existed, and DNS Prefetching was shipped in Firefox as soon as the standard was ratified (Chrome shipped it in the first release before the standards process had concluded).
A cautionary tale about continuity
Just to put numbers to it, Intel was $34 in 2016. It’s $20 now. So a dollar in Intel in 2016 would be worth 59 cents today.

Sam made a strange statement imo in a recent Ted Talk. He said (something like) models come and go but they want to be the best platform.

For me, it was jaw dropping. Perhaps he didn't mean it the way it sounded, but seemed like a major shift to me.
What you're describing as "needle in a haystack" is a necessary requirement for the downstream ability you want. The distinction is really how many "things" the LLM can process in a single shot.

LLMs process tokens sequentially, first in a prefilling stage, where it reads your input, then in the generation stage where it outputs response tokens. The attention mechanism is what allows the LLM as it is ingesting or producing tokens to "notice" that a token it has seen previously (your instruction) is related with a token it is now seeing (the code).

Of course this mechanism has limits (correlated with model size), and if the LLM needs to take the whole input in consideration to answer the question the results wouldn't be too good.
It did.

All of it started with the webtorrent project though. One of the first demos was booting Ubuntu while streaming the incomplete live ISO image, quite impressive for the time.

This is great tech for media files. Currently better than any other. But making it would make those media files very easy to redistribute, and it is hard to change that without loosing the P2Pness goodies.

If Popcorn Time had a synchronized multi-resolution catalog, bandwidth-sensitive auto switch and some paid seed servers, it would be better than any other streaming service (technically speaking).
Stopping those research programs is a choice. They could also choose to pay for them out of the endowment.

Columbia's administration obviously has no issues silencing free speech and dissent based on their actions though.
"If thing doesn't exist, gets proposed, gets laughed out of the room, good idea" is your framework? It doesn't sound like a good framework.
Yes, a program can have a second-party dependency in the form of invoking some implementation-defined behaviors or undefined behaviors that de facto work, not just a dependence on the simple existence of something without which the program doesn't build.

We can't infer a dependence of that kind from seeing standard header includes. That does not raise the suspicion above background levels.
There are a couple of key phrases in politics that get used because there is no actual justification. "Fair" is one of them. It is impossible to achieve fairness in the tax system under any circumstances, it is always taking from someone who - from the fact that it isn't voluntary - we can assume quite likely disagrees with how the money is about to be used. Taxes are fundamentally arbitrary.

So in practice, if "fair" is used in politics the appropriate reading is often as a euphemism for "I think we have the numbers to push this interpretation of the world on people; it'll be good for us".
That's neat. Does it require 1 connection = 1 process to work? I don't see how you can have a long running server with this feature.
Humans are omnivores. I am unapologetic about obeying biological imperatives to eat other animals.

At the same time, I want to be as humane as practical; I don’t want to cause needless suffering to any creature. If I kill a bug, I don’t want it to suffer. Same with food animals.

The more like me an animal is, the less I want to eat it.

There are a lot of humans. Any action to forcefully reduce the number of humans or to forcefully reduce birth rates is almost certainly way more morally abhorrent to me, than doing what is necessary to feed those humans.
tbf, whilst the Viet Cong were often nasty to their civilians, the Khmer Rouge killed a quarter of their own population and had made multiple advances into Vietnam to continue a genocide that had started with ethnic Vietnamese living within Cambodia. It's not really a tenable argument the Viet Cong didn't have just cause for invasion or that their military sticking around whilst the remaining Khmer Rouge cadres waited for an opportunity to return resembled Western colonialism, and the Khmer Rouge is not fondly remembered by Cambodian nationalists or royalists or anticommunists

Hun Sen, the Cambodian they installed as deputy PM is still in power having allied with just about every faction in Cambodian politics in various elections and coups; not a testament to the vibrancy of Cambodian democracy but a testament to how the real distinction wasn't between an independent Cambodia and occupation, but between the Khmer Rouge and everything else.
This crowd seems to be cross pollinated with the sci-fi / space exploration set. Communication with cetaceans seems like such an obvious springboard for developing frameworks and techniques for first contact with E.T. /If/ you believe they're out there... And if not, what an incredible opportunity in its own right.

But, since context is so important to communication, I think this would be easier to accomplish with carefully built experiments with captive dolphin populations first. Beginning with wild dolphins is like dropping a guy from New York City into rural Mongolia and hoping he'll learn the language.
right, but typescript sees that as a `string`, and not a string literal and thus cannot be parsed by this project or others like it.

Yes, if they actually made the thing available, maybe people would have used it for something. There were several proofs of concept at the time, with some serious gains, ever for the uses that people ended up using CUDA.

But they didn't actually sell it. At least not in any form anybody could buy. So, yeah, we get the OP claiming it was an obvious technological dead-end.

And if they included it on lower-end chips (the ones they sold just a few years after they brought Altera), we could have basically what the RasPI 2040 is nowadays. Just a decade earlier and controlled by them... On a second thought, maybe this was for the best.

This BS post is leaving out that F# was directly inspired by and built on the foundations of OCaml. Also both OCaml and F# can target JS, WebAssembly, native AOT.

Functional languages are still unpopular, don't step on one to prop up another. Prop them all up over procedural languages that use mutable variables/state.

Using "common sense" to both divine that Trump is so incredibly stupid as to suggest obviously bad economic policy but simultaneously smart enough to revert it is gambling.

"Curious" discussion requires a free and open society and a sense of personal security. If that doesn't exist, then no one will dare make statements online that could result in persecution in the real. If they want to protect curious discussion, then they need to protect the society that fosters it.

But again...they are free to make public statements denouncing what is happening without having to interfere in the moderation. Yet they have not done so. Why not?

Instead, what do they ask for?...For people to "make good new things".

But sometimes, obstruction or even destruction is just as "good". One doesn't watch a cancer grow and say "hmmm....what good thing can i create in response?" No. You fucking destroy the cancer.

They don't want that though. "Good new things" are profitable. Destruction isn't. (Unless it's the destruction of moral constraints.)

And worse yet, destruction will inevitably result in the downfall of some of their very close friends and acquaintances. It's no surprise they aren't saying anything.
