One thing about the author, is that she's a traveler (not a Gypsy, but someone that has traveled a lot; even as a kid).

So am I. I spent the majority of my early childhood, bouncing around a number of nations.

It has given me the "ability" to drop even very intimate relationships at the drop of a hat. I've heard that this is a characteristic of "military brats."

I will not have talked to someone for a decade, then, when I see them again, I assume that we can just pick up where we left, and they are like "Who the hell are you? No way!".

I've learned to correct for this. It means that I need to make the effort to stay in touch, but I have also learned that some folks aren't interested in reciprocating, so I have learned to let those go.

I recently graduated a PhD in theoretical computer science. I have a strong mathematical background and software engineering experience. Recently I have been interested in machine learning. Right now I am working on a transformer based autoregressive image generation model (see for example https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.02905 ).

I am looking for any professional experience in the machine learning domain. I am willing to work part time or as a contractor. I am eager to work and I will work hard.

> Do you think users shouldn't get to have user agents or that "content farm ads scaffold" as a business model has a right to be viable?

Users should get to have authenticated, anonymous proxy user agents. Because companies like Perplexity just ignore `robots.txt`, maybe something like Private Access Tokens (PATs) with a new class for autonomous agents could be a solution for this.

By "content farm ads scaffold", I'm not sure if you had Perplexity and their ads business in mind, or those crappy little single-serving garbage sites. In any case, they shouldn't be treated differently. I have no problem with the business model, other than that the scam only works because it's currently trivial to parasitically strip-mine and monetize other people's IP.

> Tesla fans need to do a quick exercise in empathy right now. The way they are discussing this case, such as claiming the plaintiffs are just looking for a payout, is truly appalling.

> You should put yourself in the family’s shoes. If your daughter died in a car crash, you’d want to know exactly what happened, identify all contributing factors, and try to eliminate them to give some meaning to this tragic loss and prevent it from happening to someone else.

> It’s an entirely normal human reaction. And to make this happen in the US, you must go through the courts.

This (especially the very last point) is crucial. Whenever there is any kind of error or mistake by a big corporation, more often than not, its immediately covered up, nothing is admitted publicly. But when a lawsuit is involved, the discovery process will lead to the facts being uncovered, including what the company knows.

I am glad that they were able to uncover this. Someone I know lived in an apartment complex that was made uninhabitable due to an obvious fault on the owner, but they didn't get a straight answer about what happened until they sued the owner and got the details in discovery, a couple of years after the incident. This is the only way to get to the facts.

I'm working on something similar, but 3D and faster motion: PinThing / TAP (Tangible Actuated Pins) [1]

"Motorized pin art display" is what i'm going for...

The problem with passion projects: Progress is never as much or as fast as I want, though! Hard to find the people who want to throw money at things like this and/or buy them. And anything mechanical gets complicated and expensive very quickly. But it's so much fun and a great way to learn and apply so many new skills: laser cutting, 3D printing, CNC milling, circuit design, embedded programming, etc.

Capcut TOS change is very unfortunate. They now claim broad licenses over user content. (https://www.isabokelaw.com/blog/capcuts-new-terms-of-service...)

I actually tried this before and it led nowhere. The list of supported hardware is specifically referring to the SoC, not a brand or anything. It can be very hard determining which physical cameras have which chips. On top of that, despite the name, most of the supported devices seem to be for webcams, and not chips used in modern off-the-shelf IP cameras. I really wish there was a ground up guide that used an obtainable, normal camera.

Why not? The fact that even the overtly Nazi Musk led xAI's Grok can't shake a "left" bias (left for the US political spectrum, which is to the right of the centre in most other developed countries) proves this wrong. The data, and reality, tend to lean "left" (again, on the American spectrum). It isn't leftists in the US talking about controlling the weather, Haitians eating pets, proposing to nuke hurricanes, dismissing the Holocaust, denying climate change exists, and other such objectively wrong things.

This saying exists for a reason: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/?redirect=no&title=Reality_has_a_...

I think “what is an interface” would trip me up actually, haha.

My thought process was:

Well, most of the code I use uses a Reverse Communication Interface. But, I think these are pretty old-school projects, maybe I should start by talking about the Object Oriented interface to the library that we recently did. Or maybe I can talk about the file IO based interface that I did, it was extremely cursed but kind of funny. Wait, oh shit, is this about UI?

I think this is both valuable, and yet, it is also the key to why the forest will become dark.

I'm not speculating - I have to work with these things so darn much that the tells are blindingly obvious - and the tells are well-known, ex. there's a gent who benchmarks "it's not just x - it's y" shibboleths for different models.

However, in a rigorous sense I am speculating: I cannot possibly know an LLM was used.

Thus, when an LLM is used, I am seeing an increasing fraction of conversation litigating whether is appropriate, whether it matters, if LLMs are good, and since anyone pointing it out could be speculating, now, the reaction hinges on how you initially frame this observation.

Ex. here, I went out of my way to make a neutral-ish comment given an experience I had last week (see other comment by me somewhere down stream)

Lets say I never say LLM, instead, frame it as "Doesn't that just mean it's a convention?" and "How are there so many game-changers?", which is obvious to audience is a consequence of using an LLM, and yet, also looks like you're picking on someone (are either of those bad writing? I only had one teacher who ever would take umbrage at somewhat subtle fluff like this)

Anyways this is all a bunch of belly-aching to an extent, you're right, and its the way to respond. There's a framing where the only real difficulty here is critiquing the writing without looking like you're picking on someone.

EDIT: Well, except for one more thing: what worries me the most when I see someone using the LLM and incapable of noticing tells and incapable of at least noticing the tells are weakening writing is...well, what else did they miss? What else did the LLM write that I have to evaluate for myself? So it's not so much as somewhat-bad writing, 90%+ still, that bothers me: its that idk what's real, and it feels like a waste of time even being offered it to read if I have to check everything.

Pretty interesting study design. The weakness of nutrition studies is almost always that they're either observational in nature or heavily confounded by factors that can't be controlled for.

In this case, the trial was interventional and they randomized participants into two groups with a crossover design. You either spent 8 weeks on the ultra-processed diet, followed by a 4-week washout in which you ate whatever you wanted, then spent 8 weeks on the minimally-processed diet, or you did that but in reverse with MPF first and UPF second. In both cases, participants were provided meals and drinks, at 4000 KCal a day, and told to eat as much or as little of it as they wanted, but they had to only eat and drink what they were provided, except water.

That gets rid of a lot of objections typically made regarding studies like this. The results mean nothing to me personally, but I'm glad to see nutrition science at least making some advances in methodology to clean up data reliability.

CECOT is part of US mass deportation operations. Sending someone to a concentration camp doesn’t become justified when the destination is a foreign country. In fact the US plans to expand the number of domestic and foreign concentration camps.

> civil proceedings in the US do not ensure a right to legal counsel.

You’re appealing to the law. But due process is violated even if there is a legal framework to justify it. It is a human right not a legal right. The history of concentration camps is full of legal supports placed there by authoritarian governments. But legal justifications don’t exonerate governments mass incarcerating people without due process.

> They're being temporarily detained for deportation, there's nothing to challenge.

Sure there is. Whether a person should be deported or not is absolutely worth challenging.

> The average detention time is short before they're deported to their home country.

Average detention times are around 50 days. Some people crossing at borders for example can be turned back fairly quickly. Others are held indefinitely.

> It’s not punishment

Besides the inhuman conditions that exceed most US prisons, multiple officials have stated that the intent behind Alligator Alcatraz is deterrence.

Unreasonable is to use such incompetent companies like Cloudflare, which are absolutely incapable of distinguishing between the normal usage of a Web site by humans and DDOS attacks or accesses done by bots.

Only this week I have witnessed several dozen cases when Cloudflare has blocked normal Web page accesses without any possible correct reason, and this besides the normal annoyance of slowing every single access to any page on their "protected" sites with a bot check popup window.

>It's a shame we spend 18ish years making friends, then in our 20's ...

I think the thing we don't like to say out loud is that the "friends" we made as children and up through high school were really friends created by geographic proximity which is a shallow foundation -- rather than -- deep shared interests related to our passions.

So, yes, I remember the friends I went to the U2 concert with when I was 16. What was the true basis of that friendship? Why did we all drift apart? It was inevitable because our shared interests were based on shallow things like being in the same high school, liking U2, and all of us making fun of the same teacher wearing funny clothes.

The later adult friendships that are based on founders starting a business, athletes on pro sport teams, co-workers on intense projects, etc. Those are the types of friendships formed on deeper passions that can survive future marriages, children, divorces.

Of the friends I know, none of us are interested in reconnecting with our high school friends. The later adult friendships based on professions or hobbies are more "natural" to maintain.

This piece is in Vogue. Could have been in Elle.

Ever wonder about why articles in Sports Illustrated go off on politics? Same reason.

These writers, by and large, went to Ivy League schools. Their classmates were hired at the New York Times (serious) or Saturday Night Live (funny). They want to point out hey, I have a great vocabulary and know art and such, too. Even if I just nominally write about clothes or baseball.

I haven’t watched any scenes from Bluey before (though I have a newborn now so I suspect that will soon change), but I lived in southbank for a few years during uni, basically right beside the cultural center bus stop.

I watched the clip and within a few seconds I knew exactly where in the parklands they were. Very cool, thanks for sharing. I had a similar feeling of under representation (for lack of a better term?) most of my life and while classic shows like Kath and Kim or either of the soaps show pretty quintessentially Aussie home interiors and outdoor areas, it still feels very Sydney/Melbourne.

The other show recently I’d say gave us that Brisbane feel (and a bit of homesickness, we live in NYC atm) was Love on the Spectrum: Australia. One of the guys is a bus driver in Brisbane and we’d often pause it to try and figure out if we could recognise which route.

> No one really cared about bot scraping to this degree before AI scraping for training purposes became a concern. This is fearmongering by Cloudflare for website maintainers who haven't figured out how to adapt to the AI era so they'll buy more Cloudflare.

I think this is an overly harsh take. I run a fairly niche website which collates some info which isn't available anywhere else on the internet. As it happens I don't mind companies scraping the content, but I could totally undrestand if someone didn't want a company profiting from their work in that way. No one is under an obligation to provide a free service to AI companies.

This may be obvious to people who do this regularly, but what kind of machine is required to run this? I downloaded & tried it on my Linux machine that has a 16GB GPU and 64GB of RAM. This machine can run SD easily. But Qwen-image ran out of space both when I tried it on the GPU and on the CPU, so that's obviously not enough. But am I off by a factor of two? An order of magnitude? Do I need some crazy hardware?

I feel like I have had just as much luck with LLMs writing Rust as I have had with Java, Kotlin, and Swift. Which is better than C++ and worse than Python. I think that mostly comes down to the relative abundance of training data for these types of codebases.

But that is all independent of how the LLMs are used, especially in an agentic coding environment. Strong/static typed languages with good compiler messages have a very fast feedback loop via parsing and typechecking, and agentic coding systems that are properly guided (with rulesets like Claude.md files) can iterate much quicker because of it.

I find that even with relatively obscure languages (like OCaml and Scala), the time and effort it takes to get good outcomes is dramatically reduced, albeit with a higher cost due to the fact that they don't usually get it right on the first try.

There's no need to test for it at the factory if you're not promising it works. Certainly, the PCB needs to be built for it; but I'm sure some boards are designed for B650E and then put together with a B650.

Regardless, the chipset has been out for almost 3 years. Kind of late to put the horse back in the barn. Regardless of certification, lots of systems are out there where it's enabled, and those with those systems and a pci-e 5.0 can tell us how it works regardless of what the branding says. Maybe it's flaky, maybe it rarely works. Maybe it just made sense to follow the pci-e 5.0 design rules for the gpu slots, even without the branding; maybe the pci-e 4.0 design rules are good enough at the trace lengths on a typical am5 board. Maybe once you have the PCB designed and built to run the cpu m.2 at 5.0, it doesn't cost anything to follow design rules for the cpu x16 slot as well.

Yeah, big numbers and big crowds are useless, if there is no unity, no tendency to help fellow worker. As you point out "it won't happen to me" attitude is precisely why a handful of dudes who run big tech can get away with almost anything. "It won't happen to me" works, until it doesn't. By then it will be too late (maybe it is already too late?) to bring out any meaningful change

Whether this is true or not, it's an emotional reality for the Millennial generation. The Boomer/Millennial rift is fundamental, and only getting worse. Everyone I know (barely an exaggeration) is financially struggling, but has Boomer parents who are wealthy. They don't help out dealing with debts or starting a family, even though they are easily able to do so from a financial perspective, and constantly imply that it's their children's fault that they're in the situations they're in.

While the existence of Perplexity may justify the existence of Cloudflare, it does not justify the incompetence of Cloudflare, which is unable to distinguish accesses done by Perplexity and the like from normal accesses done by humans, who use those sites exactly for the purpose they exist, so there cannot be any excuse for the failure of Cloudflare to recognize this.

Not in the big picture.

Fundamentally, flash memory is a bunch of pages. Each page can be read an infinite number of times but there are quite relevant limits on how many times you can write it.

In the simplistic system lets say you have 1000 pages, 999 hold static data and the last one keeps getting a temporary file that is then erased. All wear occurs on page 1000 and it doesn't last very long.

In the better system it notes that page 1000 is accumulating a lot of writes and picks whatever page has the least writes, copies the data from that page to page 1000 and now uses the new page for all those writes. Repeat until everything's worn down. Note the extra write incurred copying the page over.

In the real world a drive with more space on it is less likely to have to resort to copying pages.

> then in our 20's more or less have to make a mad dash to establish a place to live, a career, a partner, etc.

What is weird, from the historical perspective, is that we need to do all those.

I come from a rural village and almost all of my older relatives just continued living near where they were born (some even in their childhood homes) and having the same job their parents had (which was some kind of farming for most of them). They basically had their life figured out at the age of 20, after which they started having kids. Also, most of their friends and acquaintances are people they knew already when they were children.

If you think about it, it's not really surprising that friends get left behind when you move, change jobs, and basically everything in your life changes. If an old friend of mine used to know me at the age of 20, he doesn't know me anymore at the age of 37 since everything in my life has changed. We might not even like each other anymore.

What safety record are we ignoring? Can you please cite some scientifically rigorous and statistically sound data, evidence, and analysis?

Or are you talking about self-published numbers by the company that is proven to withhold, lie, and misdirect in even official police investigations, subpoenas, and trials where it is actively illegal to do so?

Are we talking numbers with a degree of scientific rigor unfit for publication in a middle school science fair, let alone the minimum standard of scientifically rigorous that members of their team had to achieve to get their degrees, yet somehow fail to do when detailing systems that are literally responsible for the life and death of humans?

The article isn’t very clear about this, did they have any reason to suspect that these 2 Soldiers had personally committed war crimes or were they arrested only on the basis of them being IDF? If it’s the former, then good on them. If it’s the latter, which I suspect since they were questioned and then released, then this sets a terrible precedent.

> This all comes down to an interpretation of marketing speak. If you believe "autopilot" is misleading you'd agree with the jury here, if you don't you wouldn't. I'm no lawyer, and don't know the full scope of requirements for autopilot like features, but it seems that Tesla is subject to unfair treatment here given the amount of warnings you have to completely ignore and take no responsibility for. I've never seen such clear warnings on any other car with similar capabilities. I can't help but think there's maybe some politically driven bias here and I say that as a liberal.

And that's exactly why the law is supposed to have a Reasonable Person Standard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_person

When the majority of Tesla's owners are completely unaware of the viability of autopilot even in 2025, how exactly does it make any sense to blame the marketing when someone was so entrusting in the unproven technology back in 2019? Especially given so many reports of so many people being saved by said technology in other circumstances?

I imagine these things will get better when courts would not be able to find jurors that are unfamiliar with the attention-monitoring nags that Tesla's are famous for.
