Full range is a specific set. What does that range consist of? Also, seems odd to go from going on about "stretching a label past the point of meaning", but then put normal as some range that's just about vaguely everything. Can normal not be defined? Is it somehow more deserving of being afforded to be a vague spectrum or being under less specific definitions? Where is the point of meaning with "normal"?

India has had a history of market manipulation and stock market crashes. One specially high profile one was 1992 after which SEBI got it's powers.

While what JS did would likely be allowed (borderline) in many other markets, it would be looked at highly suspiciously in India. The underlying narrative is clear, where Indian retail traders are green and need more protection to invest their wealth rather than simply earn interest (India's saving interest is 3.5% and a fixed deposit pays at 7.5%). SEBI also banned shortselling in India for a similar reasons of protecting retail investors. Even institutional investors who can short are not allowed naked shorts or closing their positions in short period (within a day). SEBI values market stability.

Overall, Indian traders are inexperienced and not as aware when it comes to options, so expect a regulator to be extra strict here. Free market is a good argument, but that has never been an explicit prerogative for the regulator. When SEBI cautioned against options, they cited speculative bets and disadvantage against institutional investors.[1]

> It's framed around a new update to Grok but then references old tweets of peoples interactions a while back.

The first half of the article is all about 'new' Grok responses made in the past day or so, with the implication these all follow on from the new Grok announcement.

The old tweets are in the last half and specifically refer to Grok responses to similar topics in the past for comparison.

Regardless of the article quality or bias the format (new responses versus old) is pretty typical and as expected .. how else does one write about a comparison of old V. new without reference to old?

That might be true; however, if this takes hold I would be surprised if they choose to keep producing and shipping the tasty grain high fidelity footage.

Considering that NR is generally among the very first steps in development pipeline (as that’s where it is the most effective), and the rest of dynamic range wrangling and colour grading comes on top of it, they might consider it a “waste” to 1) process two times (once with this new extreme NR, once with minimal NR that leaves the original grain), 2) keep around both copies, and especially (the costliest step) to 3) ship that delicious analog noise over Internet to people who want quality.

I mean, how far do we go? It’ll take even less bandwidth to just ship prompts to a client that generates the entire thing on the fly. Imagine the compression ratios…

Sounds like you found your next promotion at Apple. They can change anything. "I like Pepsi" -> "I like Coke" -> "I recommend Company A" -> "I recommend Company B". etc... "I'm voting for Candidate C" -> "I'm voting for Candidate D"

You can market it is helping people with strong accents to be able make calls and be less likely to be misunderstood. It just happens to "fix" your grammar as well.

Regressives are playing a losing hand for one simple and obvious reason --- economics.

EVs and renewable energy are unstoppable and will win simply because they are a less expensive alternative.

Until americans and american industry embrace this simple fact, we will be operating with an economic handicap and competitive disadvantage against the rest of the world and particularly the Chinese.

Government support and mandates for fossil fuel is a regressive step away from free trade and toward technical inferiority and decline --- not "greatness".

I’d say that those claiming it’s a simple or classic strategy have very little idea of how stock exchanges operate in second and third-world countries. Getting permission to trade as a foreign institutional investor requires a significant amount of legal work and, umm, bureaucratic investment. Almost all stock exchanges out there use off-the-shelf trade surveillance software, which means the exchange will flag this, and so will the SEC-equivalents, on every trade they make. There’s also a proactive element to this in the form of writing reports and asking for explanations regarding the trades. There’s no way these trades happen without someone noticing.

The thing is, Jane Street still consists of some of the smartest people in the room. Getting into markets like this and making large-volume trades is no easy feat. We often equate algorithmic prowess with investment intelligence, but in reality, navigating the legal and regulatory requirements is the only edge you have in trading these days. It’s very hard to figure this out as an international firm. Jane Street did it, and they deserve kudos for it. Trust me, if it were an Indian firm making the same moves, you wouldn’t have heard about it.

You’ll see Jane Street will pay a fine and come out on top. This is because they plan for these things with the expectation that regulators will make a scene about it.

My broker presents a form with questions that I need to get right before they allow me to dabble in the leveraged and tricky instruments. Don't remember how many exactly, it's a combination of questions like 'can you lose all your invested money' and technical ones that reflect the type of instrument.

I assume it's a compliance requirement, they get a record of me having said the right things at one time and don't really know if I got someone else to tell me what to answer. Still, I think it's actually keeping some people out, judging from some forum threads where they try to get help to pass and seemingly fail even though others are telling them basically what to respond with.

LLMs are useful in that respect. As are media diffusion models. They've compressed the physics of light, the rules of composition, the structure of prose, the knowledge of the internet, etc. and made it infinitely remixable and accessible to laypersons.

AGI, on the other hand, should really stand for Aspirationally Grifting Investors.

Superintelligence is not around the corner. OpenAI knows this and is trying to become a hyperscaler / Mag7 company with the foothold they've established and the capital that they've raised. Despite that, they need a tremendous amount of additional capital to will themselves into becoming the next new Google. The best way to do that is to sell the idea of superintelligence.

AGI is a grift. We don't even have a definition for it.

Arbitrarily choose an option, but expose the fact that you've auto-resolved a conflict and allow the user to manually re-resolve. This requires even more UI work than option 1.

This is what every "cloud file sharing" provider like Dropbox is doing. If there is a conflict, the version on the server is "the right one", and your locally conflicted file is copied on the side with some annotation in the file name.

No, you're bloody well not. You as an average external consumer did not create the exploitative culture of low wages for hospitality staff or make any one of them join that culture by seeking employment there. There's nothing objective about what you argue except that it's objectively mistaken in its blame.

Playing by stupid "rules" (which these aren't in any case, they're social tendencies that can be slowly changed) is the passively damaging thing, a logic of, "yeah, this aspect of the world is shit but i'll chide you for not participating in it because I myself am too inert to not do so".

>Does this worker have more, or less, money than before? It's not a matter of opinion. The answer is less, and we know that's the answer because that's specifically what you're seeking out.

Do you own a restaurant in which you underpay employees? I'd almost guess you do to come up with such topsy-turvy nonsense. The worker having less money has nothing to do with any fault of your own. You're paying for what you ordered, and stealing nothing from anyone; you're simply seeking not to be squeezed further for no good reason. The owner of the place is however literally underpaying because they're hoping to guilt you into subsidizing part of wages, and convincing their employees that this is the correct thing.

A person having less money because you refuse to participate in a subtle bit of exploitation doesn't make you guilty of the exploitation or "seeking it out"

Id give them a pass. Non professional development is already hard as is

If the problem we have with modern professionally developed software is that its become soulless and treats its users like resources to exploit rather than partners to work with, in exchange for dangling polish and convenience in front of their faces, then the alternative is this: hobby devs who sometimes mess up and rely on community feedback

I think this is healthy

You need to track individual subscribers at that point, which uses lots of ram and could use lots of airtime, heuristics like resending until you get 1 reply like Meshtastic don't work well.

If there's receive window timing issues you can't assume two nodes right next two each other will get the same subset of packets most of the time.

My solution is just to resend every message four times, and not bother with protocol layer reliability for BLE at all, the packet rate is low and all the acknowledgements use airtime anyway.

> everybody thinks they have minor version of disorders, because we all do, we live on continuums, and therefore we should probably all think about it more

I think this is subtly incorrect. I would phrase it this way:

> everybody thinks they have minor version of disorders, because we all do... And they think that makes them different and therefore deserving of special treatment.

We all live on continuums of mental health, and reflecting on that is important. But it's unrelated to what's happening here, there's not much reflection, just self labelling and demanding special treatment based on these labels.

Someone strongly on the autism spectrum absolutely needs special treatment, some just a little, some a lot.

But somebody who watches a TikTok about autism and recognizes, or thinks they recognize, similar behaviors in themselves, does not need it (except in the few cases where it is actually undiagnosed autism, of course, but that's a very small minority).

Funny also I moved to USA ~20 years ago and you lose the Italian, you don't remember words etc. but you'll never lose your dialect, it just comes natural because that's how you grew up instead of what you learned growing up and from school, Tuscan people have it easier because the language comes from their dialect, Dante etc.

I don't know if you are indirectly referring to me, but I have done such an implementation, and those particular LLMs are very limited. Two things come to mind.

1. It is still correct that the limited "truth-seeking" that I expressed holds. With respect to the limited world model possessed by the limited training and limited dataset, such a model "seeks to understand" the approximate concept that I am imperfectly expressing that it has data for, and then generate responses based in that.

2. SotA models have access to external data, be it web search or RAG+vector database, etc.. They also have access to the Chain of Thought method. They are trained on datasets that enable them to exploit these tools, and will exploit these tools. The zero-to-hero sequence does not lead you to build such an LLM, and the one that you build has a very limited computational graph. So with respect to more... traditional notions of "truth seeking", these LLMs fundamentally lack the equipment to do that that SotA models have.

She was fired because she leaked information and this fact had become public.

When they can cover such facts, the banks are much less prone to use appropriate punishments.

Many years ago, some employee of a bank has confused my personal bank account with a company account of my employer, and she has sent a list with everything that I have bought using my personal account, during 4 months, to my employer, where the list could have been read by a few dozen people.

Despite the fact this was not only a matter of internal discipline, but violating the banking secrecy was punishable by law where I lived, the bank has tried for a long time to avoid admitting that anything wrong has happened.

However, I have pursued the matter, so they have been forced to admit the wrong doing. Despite this being something far more severe than what has happened to Farage, I did not want for the bank employee to be fired. I considered that an appropriate punishment would have been a pay cut for a few months, which would have ensured that in the future she would have better checked the account numbers for which she sends information to external entities.

In the end all I have got was a written letter where the bank greatly apologized for their mistake. I am not sure if the guilty employee has ever been punished in any way.

After that, I have moved my operations to another bank. Had they reacted rightly to what had happened, I would have stayed with them.

The translation might not be expensive, but its soulcrushingly robotic.

My interest in LLMs isnt to increase shareholder value, its to make lofe easier for people. I think itd be a huge net benefit to society if people were freed up from robotic work like typing out lines from scanned pdfs to excel sheets, so they can do more fulfilling work

As an anecdotal sample of 1, I moved to ATX in 2019 and moved out in 2024. Reasons include:

- Apartment rents creeped too high near downtown

- The culture dragged down due to gentrification by alcoholic, kidult, uncool office workers

- Too many unfinished megaprojects downtown ruining the charm

- Houses are way, way cheaper anywhere else, especially in the triangle

- The incidence of severe weather is less in pockets around the 100th meridian west

- MAANG curtailed permanent and hybrid WfH with RTO requiring commuting in a major metro like NYC and SV

I’ve been toying with a concept inspired by Apple’s Find My network: Imagine a decentralized, delay-tolerant messaging system where messages hop device-to-device (e.g., via Bluetooth, UWB, Wi-Fi Direct), similar to how “Find My” relays location via nearby iPhones.

Now add a twist: • Senders pay a small fee to send a message. • Relaying devices earn a micro-payment (could be tokens, sats, etc.) for carrying the message one hop further. • End-to-end encrypted, fully decentralized, optionally anonymous.

Basically, a “postal network” built on people’s phones, without needing a traditional internet connection. Works best in areas with patchy or no internet, or under censorship.

Obvious challenges: • Latency and reliability (it’s not real-time). • Abuse/spam prevention. • Power consumption and user opt-in. • Viable incentive structures.

What do you think? Is this viable? Any real-world use cases where this might be actually useful — or is it just a neat academic toy?

When I was young, unsure about myself, and frequently derided when I stated my preference for quiet evenings instead of going out and meeting people, I grasped at the notion of "introversion" the moment I found it. It made my feelings and preferences legitimate during a time when I perceived that people were telling me that I was wrong for being that way.

Now, more than two decades later, after a bit more life experience, I cringe when someone labels me as an introvert - they aren't wrong per se, but they also unload a bunch of assumptions attached to that label on to me, 90% of which are inaccurate/unrelated/tangential.

A good friend of mine told me that labels are useful, but warned me to not make them my entire identity. He turned out to be right.

It doesn't strike me as a loaded question. It could have easily answered "Wealthy executives" and it would have been at least politically neutral, or heck, "The Illuminati," but instead it seems to have been trained with an antisemitic stereotype straight from StormFront. I guess if it was less of a sycophant it would have just answered "There's no particular group. Find better echo chambers, my dude."

We should probably evaluate LLMs based on how accurate their answers are, not which political direction they lean.

Heck no. We have “it’s always the quiet ones who go first”, to remind us what it was like from that time.

Most people suffered, and made the ones around them suffer as well. On top of that, you are in no position to move to an “average” position on the behavior spectrum, because it’s fundamentally outside your biological operational parameters.

There are TONS of relations which were kept in place, because of society, keeping people who made each other worse, in permanent proximity.

Survivorship bias is real.

We’re the ones who inherited the world with more knowledge than past generations, it’s up to us to do better with it. This will include getting better at diagnosing.

For self diagnosing, I have no idea what to do.

By specific set I mean the behaviors actually exhibited, someone either grows a beard or doesn’t you can’t be doing both. Meanwhile either choice is normal.

The “full range” is anything that doesn’t cause you or another significant distress, major impairment, or prevent functioning in society. Eating hot sauce is uncomfortable, amputating a limb is several steps beyond uncomfortable.

> Can normal not be defined?

It’s defined by what it isn’t. There’s ~8 billion people in the world and the majority of them are functioning as should be obvious by our societies continuing to function.

The anthropological evidence suggests that people prefer densely connected networks of interpersonal debt to any kind of tokenization.

Those widely accepted tokens of value are the result of somebody violently imposing that widespread acceptance, usually because they won a war and now they want to continue bossing the losers around without having to remain combat-ready all the time. The only people who benefit from using widely accepted tokens of value are those who have a hand in issuing them. To the rest of us they represent a disadvantage.

For a long time this was a stable configuration because densely connected networks of interpersonal debt become computationally burdensome to work with at the scale of the empires created by those wars. But if our money can be programmable, then maybe a new way can be found which better respects the needs of all of its users, rather than just the few at the top. I don't know what such a thing would look like, but it would look nothing like a stablecoin.

Speak for yourself, It's not impossible to uncaringly live your own life of your own choices, quirks and characteristics without agreeing that you're somehow "disordered", and pigeonhole yourself into idiotically cheap social media and pop culture labels of X or Y. Just refuse to participate in the herd-guiding on something so basic as personal tendencies and flaws.

It's a shame that too many young people do the opposite and have bought so widely into a therapy culture of tagging so much of the complex human world into little boxes of psychological disorder (founded on some very, very shaky evidence and clinical understanding) to cause further internal trauma. This itself has become a bizarre and sickly fad but not an inescapable one.

Yeah, but the parent is moaning about people shirking their responsibilities because of a self diagnosis.

That might be a projection; just a punctual person peeved off with the chronically late; but I was just adding the point that being challenged in this area isn’t an excuse.

I’m on-time for work stuff; I’ve figured out how to compensate. Personal life, ok, different story, but the responsibility has always rested with me.

The biggest problem I immediately foresee is that this sounds backwards. It doesn't work best in areas with patchy or no internet, it works best in areas with lots of participating devices. It's most needed in areas with patchy or no internet, but those areas are likely to be the opposite of the areas with lots of participating devices.

> Today, it’s absolutely possible to work in GameDev without a deep passion for games, or gaming background.

There is room for a range of people with creative or technical backgrounds, but as someone who likes playing games that are actually good, I hope that there are some people working in game development who do have a deep passion for games. Otherwise you can end up with something that looks and sounds great, has solid performance and responsiveness, runs reliably, and simply isn't fun to play. Or a game that is ruined by aggressive monetization, or is basically a glorified slot machine whose primary purpose to hook "whales".
