Lots of practical but low impact suggestions in this thread.

I think the only real answers involve large scale decoupling from the rapidly changing social norms. Can you cobble together a social group that will go Luddite with you? If not, can you join one?

I think unpopular to mention here but John Ioannidis did a really weird turn in his career and published some atrociously non-rigorous Covid research that falls squarely in the cross-hairs of "why...research findings are false".

It's cars and large houses peripherally connected to amenities by car-only infrastructure.

People love this lifestyle and will fight you very energetically if you try to do anything to nudge city layouts towards the previous level of walkability.

What is Invidious? An alternative front-end to Google-hosted video content?

I love the simple but elegant formatting of this blog.

cgadski: what did you use to make it?

Exceptions so far are Novo Nordisk and CostCo. Not sure if there are many others at scale.

Not that anyone is offering $192B but I also suspect existing doctors and the AMA might actively oppose this. Debt-free MDs would probably create downward pressure on salaries.

My dog seems to know least the names of 6 family members, 4 friends, and names of ~6-7 other dogs (in that she can go to those individuals on command). She also knows: cat, dog, cow, horse, friend, hello, "dai lapu" (Russian for give me your paw), "sidi" (Russian for sit), sneak, "bang" (for playing dead), dinner, breakfast, bath, outside, "go potties", and probably quite a few other snippets of English.

She also knows how to open windows in a car and looks for the buttons before pressing them with her paw.

Moved to the US as a kid (by way of Estonia and then Italy), went to a year of Russian language "transitional" school here. So don't have any insight on the Ukrainian school experience.

I was born in Kiev and spoke Russian at home. Can barely understand Ukrainian unless it's spoken slowly by a native Russian speaker. I can get the gist of what Zelensky is saying in an interview but can pretty much never understand native Ukrainian speakers. I think there's also a gradient of dialects and accents West to East, so I'm sure you can find some Ukrainian villager I would understand better but in general they're not mutually intelligible (to me).

I expected the core of the algorithm to be a parallel prefix scan though (isn't that the point of Mamba?):

    for i in range(l):
            x = deltaA[:, :, i] \* x + deltaB_u[:, :, i]
            y = einsum(x, C[:, i, :], 'b d_in n , b n -> b d_in')
            ys.append(y)
