<p>People think that shorting is an easy way of getting rich when you think a stock will go down, but even if you know it will, getting the timing wrong on it is catastrophic as you'll get unbounded loses while the market fails to correct the issues you are betting against</p>

<p>In my mind it has to be done this way because there's absolutely no way you'll recall everything that needs migrating in a short time. Even if you have a password manager as your email is likely older than it, but it's probably a great start if you have that.</p>

<p>> I suspect that the next big AI breakthrough will result at least in part from constraining LLM decisions with old AI approaches.<p>AFAIK bridging deductive and inductive AI has been understood as the trick for "AGI" for a long time, probably even before it was called AGI.<p>I really want this winter of deductive AI to be short. We need both sides and can't afford a long winter like the one inductive AI suffered.</p>

<p>Exactly my concern, and worse overhead that what I recalled.<p>Cost-wise the only viable private compute is local compute. It's more expensive than cloud, but true private compute in the cloud is definitely pricier.</p>

<p>A better phone sent by horse would get to my hands sooner than a phone I don't give a shit about that can be shipped by airpost.<p>I moved from high end to a "mid-range" Samsung phone that's way better than it needs to be given how boring phones have become. The only upgrade I wish on it was more open source software.</p>

<p>Damn, isn't A* fun and intuitive?<p>I'd be interesting to dive into bounds and good properties for sets of landmarks.<p>I imagine that if,
- Every node is at least X cost/distance away from a landmark
- Landmarks are no closer than Y cost/distance from each other<p>You can start promising a lot about the size of your open set on any execution.<p>A* on h* (perfect heuristic) takes O(l) where l is the length of the solution (could expand exactly l nodes, but solving/guessing ties incorrectly might bump this to a multiple around the avg edges per vertex).
I imagine that having good bounds mean you'll take no longer than a certain amount of expansions/depth before you lock-into the railway that h* provides (and you need some extra work to get off it too).</p>

<p>> The weights are the preferred form for modifying or integrating with other models<p>It's the 2nd time I hear this argument and I'm already fed up with it<p>Is it the preferred way only because training is expensive? It's like saying binaries are the preferred way of modifying program because you can't afford to have a fast enough machine to compile it yourself.<p>Most people don't have resources to compile their own browser, but what makes some browsers open is access to the source.<p>Maybe it's the preferred way because the people sharing models are themselves working with weights and no data?</p>

<p>Yeah, init scripts are simple, but things get tricky outside of the happy path. Think of service upgrades/restarts. Once you care about dependencies, then you are back to a graph like systemd's.</p>

<p>Think about user services in a multi-user setup<p>Do you want user-level services, or a multi-tenant system-level service?
- Who can tweak the service configuration?
- How do you ensure there's no data leaks between users?
- What about misbehaviour? Quotas, crashes<p>I think lingering is great here</p>

<p>I was hoping for a rebase that recalled what your previous base commit of your branch.<p>I'm really not fond of having to `git rebase --interactive` just to drop all commits that are "already in master", especially when I forget this silly step and get a borked rebase.</p>
