These disorders don't exist on the same spectrum. There is no point in comparing the two. Both can be absolutely debilitating. People that feel the need to compare severity of disorders like you do actively contribute to the stigma and invalidation of severe disorders. Tell the families of the more than 700k people that commit suicide every year that "depression is very mild by comparison". An absolutely ignorant comment.

You're missing the point. A database or a normal http API is great if you're accessing the data from outside a blockchain. If you want smart contracts to access the data, it's better if the data is available natively inside the blockchain. You're probably not interested in smart contract, but there are other people that are trying to build smart contracts which use that data. One simple example would be a prediction market.

Well the distinction between mutable and immutable borrows doesn't solve use-after-free. What prevents use-after-free is ownership. There is one owner, and the owner can not free the memory as long as there is a borrower (it doesn't matter whether the borrower is mutable or not). So that's the task of the borrow checker.

For my own programming language [1], I have only mutable borrowers (similar to Java), and a much simpler borrow checker: a method that holds a borrow can not call a method that potentially frees an object of the same type (directly or indirectly). I'm not sure yet if this is sufficient; it's still a borrow checker, just a very simple one. (My language uses reference counting by default, but does support single ownership + borrowing.)

On a somewhat related note, would you trust a Pi based NAS long term? I've not tried doing one since the Pi 4 which understandably because of its hardware limitations left a lot to be desired, but that part aside I was still finding the pi as a piece of hardware somewhat quirky and unpredictable - power especially, I can't count the number of times simply unplugging a usb keyboard would cause it to reboot.

This is the best comment thus far outlining what’s actually going on versus what’s clickbait.

It’s a constructive demolition of the institution not by a single Appeal’s Court judgement (there’s still SCOTUS, after all), but by exploiting the weakness inherent in its original designs. This is a tactic we’ll continue to see because Congress has steadfastly refused to remove or address these institutional weakpoints throughout government for half a century, on purpose.

The entire point was to tear down anything impeding Capital and enriching labor, regardless of the long-term consequences. That’s succeeding at present, but the bill inevitably comes due, and historically these sorts of personal enrichment schemes at the expense of the masses end in violence and result in a regional or global dark age; I do not expect this time to be any different.

Not just prison but the mental health system. Heck even the health system.

A large proportion of people in prison are there because of mental issues and there was nowhere else to put them since nobody can navigate that mess and there is little to no funding for it.

Particularly since (public) mental health institutionalization was deemed to infringe on “freedom” (and also not profitable) the only options today are prison or running around the streets until inevitably they do something that warrants imprisonment.

There are some things that markets can invigorate through innovation. But public health and safety certainly isn’t one of those things.

It depends. More common than getting hit by a bus is that the maintainer loses interest, or doesn't have the time to put into it anymore. When that happens I've seen all of the following happen:

* Someone forks the project, and eventually the fork replaces the original

* Another, possibly new, project that fills the same niche becomes more popular, and eventually replaces most usages of the first project.

* The original maintainer hands off maintenance to someone else.

* People keep using it, even though it is no longer maintained, and maybe make their own forks to fix issues they have, but none of the forks really catch on

One of the strengths of OSS is that if the developer disappears, or goes rogue, or changes the license terms, someone can fork the project and keep it going. With proprietary software, if the company (or individual) who makes it disappears, or decides to discontinue it, or change the terms to something unacceptable, you are just out of luck. Hopefully, you can find a competing product that meets your needs.

The logical end step of these trains of thoughts is always the same. If you aren't contributing to the solution in a big way, you should kill yourself. And even if you can't take that step, you should absolutely not have children, and advocate that others do the same.

Viewing energy use as an axiomatic evil necessarily leads to the removal of man from the earth.

> I assume the best reason they have for this is that they can nuke the account, effectively killing the install base of an app is reported to be malicious.

They can already target malicious apps via Play Protect, including presumably all apps signed by the same signing key, so from that point of view no change would be needed. What this is presumably supposed to achieve is rather making it harder to rotate your signing key after it has been burnt…

> Unless the Constitution explicitly prohibits Congress from doing a thing, Congress can do that thing. That's how the Constitution works.

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

The USA constitution is explicitly the opposite unless Congress is allowed to do something it's not allowed to. Chevron has absolutely nothing to do with that.

> The external monitor I think was capped to 1920x1080 (if connected to a 1440P display a huge chunk was just static)

That happened to me with the PP, but I can reliably use a 1440P monitor with the PPP. Not sure if it's the phone, or the fact that I added a power cord to the phone while it was connected. I can't remember if I did that with the PP.

EDIT: Scratch that. It's because I used the official dock with the PP, and for the PPP I used one I got on Amazon.

The official dock is docked (:P) to 1080P.[1]

I wonder how it happened that the de-facto standard here is for the protocol going over USB-C to be DisplayPort, but for the hardware connection to be HDMI, and so leading to docks needed to be spec'ed to the resolution you want instead of being passive.

The Population Bomb is a great reference. This was something a family member of mine was seriously worried about in her younger days.

Population is an extremely complex, dynamic system, and I don't think we have any way of actually predicting it -- all we can do is look at trend lines and make projections.

A few years ago I went to a military museum in Vietnam, where they have a lot of equipment used by the US military on display -- helicopters, planes, guns, etc.

What surprised me is how the equipment had labels around where to open things to rescue people, where to pour fuel, etc... It was labelled such that someone with limited (or no) exposure to the vehicle model would know what to do without referencing any sort of manual.

Very different today.

Obviously some will find this a silly opinion but the one thing that turned me off the most about the Nim programming language was its use of significant whitespace. The same is true with F# (and of course Python). Having had apps with YAML for config, and having had nightmares trying to copy/paste config directives from various sources, I just find whitespace to be unwieldy.

Now that's a strong opinion, (weakly held - as a language can't be judged based on this design decision). But it does sour my interest a bit.

Author here. Our paper “Calibrating LLM Confidence by Probing Perturbed Representation Stability” was accepted to EMNLP 2025 Main Conference (top 15%) with a final rating of 9 (strong accept).

High-level summary: We probe LLM hidden states with slight perturbations to check answer stability—stable implies confidence; unstable implies uncertainty. This lightweight method delivers >50% reductions in calibration error (down to ~4.5%) across LLaMA, Mistral, Qwen on MMLU & MMLU-Pro, with no LLM fine-tuning.

Results, code, and dataset are available at: - Code: https://github.com/ledengary/CCPS - Data: https://huggingface.co/datasets/ledengary/CCPS

Happy to discuss technical details or calibration deployment strategies.

<< you do not know where that missing 25% is wrong

I think there is something to this line of thinking. I just finished a bigger project and without going into details, one person from team supposedly dedicated to providing viable data about data was producing odd results. Since the data was not making much sense, I asked for info on how the data was produced. I was given SQL script and 'and then we applied some regex' explanation.

Long story short, I dig in and find that applied regex apparently messed with dates in an unexpected way and I knew because I knew the 'shape' that data was expected to have. I corrected it, because we were right around the deadline, but.. I noted it.

Anyway, I still see llm as a tool, but I think there is some reckoning on the horizon as:

1. managers push for more use and speed given that new tool 2. getting there faster wronger, because people go with 1 and do not check the output ( or don't know how to check it or don't know when its wrong )

It won't end well, because the culture does not reward careful consideration.

Your genuine consideration is appreciated!

I hear you about this issue (corporate control over devices, let's call it) and of course a large segment of the community agrees with you. Howwever, the moderation point here isn't about that; it's about a style of commenting that we're trying to avoid here. Your account has been posting in that style on unrelated issues too, so I think this is independent of the specific content.

Reminds me of a joke, where there was a beggar sitting on a street next to a certain office, and one man has been giving him a coin every time he went to work or was going home. That continued for a while, until one day the man says to the beggar - "you know, I've been giving you a coin twice a day for a while now, but now I am getting married, it's an expensive thing so I can't give as much anymore, I only will be giving you a coin once a day from now on". And the beggar cries out: "Look at this putz, he's getting married and now I have to feed his whole family!"

The US won WWII because of it's industrial dominance, they didn't even have much of a military before the war, they built it when it was needed. Since WWII the US war machine has been used primarily for bullying much weaker powers.

Meanwhile China has risen to become the dominant industrial superpower. So I don't even care much what China's military looks like at the moment. If they see fit to switch to a wartime economy, they will, and woe be the nation that thought it would be a good idea to pick a fight with them.

This is super cool, I've wondered if this wort of thing could be possible and I guess it is. The applications given are funny though. I can't think of any applications either, but "helping people with color-blindness" reads like the ol' search and rescue excuse [1]. I think they're talking about shifting colors around so less color is perceived in the wavelengths they can't see?

You are free publish source code for your app. You are free to publish unsigned .apk and people who want it will find a way to install it. Once app is installed it's more than a speech: it's a potentially hazardous product. The analogy is how chemists are free to publish formula for any pharmaceutical but are not free to put pharmaceuticals on the market without approval.

> Very few things scale like that.

I wasn't talking about two instances for scaling smartness, I meant applying two instances to different problems. That very much scales.

> This doesn't follow. After all, humans are as smart as humans ...

In the hypothetical case of humans capable of producing the one true AI system (real AI or AGI or however its called, because marketing has taken the previous term), then this system is capable of producing another system by definition. Humans are capable of following Moores law, so this system will as well. So this chain of system will explore the set of all possible intelligent systems restricted only by resources. It isn't bound by inner problems like "(good nutrition, education, etc)", because it is a mathematical model, its physical representation does only matter as so far as it needs to exist in this hypothetical case.

> AI is a black box

In this case, the black box "humans" was able to produce another thing reproducing their intelligence. So we have understood ourselves better than we currently do.

Note, that every intelligent system is completely able to be simulated by a large enough non intelligent statistical system, so intelligence isn't inferable from a set of inputs -> outputs. It's really the same as with consciousness.

> And why wouldn't we hit some sort of technical roadblock? Can we expect to see a 5000km/h car?

Yes. We are capable of accelerating "objects" to 0.99..c. It's not impossible for us to accelerate a "car" to nearly light speed, we "just" need enough energy (meaning matter as energy).

> technical roadblock at (arbitrarily) 1.5x human intelligence

I wrote "until the limit of information density". Whatever this may be.

I intended to point out, why a system "equivalent to human" is actually equivalent to "digital super intelligence meaning 'smarter than all humans put together'".

---

You don't need to tell me you don't think this system will exist. I think this will end the same as the attempts to build a machine creating energy. My personal understanding is this: A system (humans) can never completely "understand" itself, because it's "information size" is as large as itself, but to contain something, it needs to be larger then this. In addition that "understanding" needs to be also included in its "information size" so the size to understand has at least doubled then. This means that the largest system capable of "understanding" itself has the size of 0.

In other words understanding something means knowing the whole thing and abstracting to a higher level then the abstractness of the system to be understood. But when the system tries to understand itself, it's always looking for yet another higher abstraction to infinity, as each abstraction it finds is not yet enough.

This idea comes from the fact, that you can't prove that every implementation of a mathematical model has some behaviour, without formalizing every possible model, in other words inventing another higher model, in other words abstracting.

Okay but noticeably he invents two numbers then pretends that a third number is irrelevant in order to claim that each model (which is not a company) is a profitable company.

You'd think maybe the CEO might be able to give a ball park on the profit made off that 2023 model.

ETA: "You paid $100 million... There's some cost to inference with the model, but let's just assume ... that even if you add those two up, you're kind of in a good state."

You see this right? He literally says that if you assume revenue exceeds costs then it's profitable. He doesn't actually say that it does though.

In a market economy, shortages are simply a statement that the buyers value a good or service less than the market price.

Medical care shortages are mostly a function that hospitals don't want to pay nurses market rate and then treat them poorly.

The exception is doctors. The shortage there is completely driven by their guild (AMA) successfully lobbying for a restriction on the number of medical schools.

I infer from footnote 10 that an unspoken subtext of this is that footnote 1 is that while the reader may choose a (simplistic) atheist's formulation of the idea, the author does not,

which would be consistent with their interest in the question of the "divine" and human reasoning at all, especially as argued about by theologically inclined philosophers much admired by Judeochristians.

That subtext being, discovering that our models or knowledge are incomplete somehow increases the territorty of what he's calling mysterious. By which I take it he means, knowable to and to not beat around the burning bush, attributable to the divine. By which I take it for him that he means a Judeochristian god.

One of the great and persistent bemusements of my adulthood is discovering that other adults take their religiosity not just seriously but central to their understanding of themselves, and their context generally.

It's a relief that such people have participated in construction of a society within which such beliefs are considered personal, as it saves a lot of embarassment for people such as myself, who find such notions wince-inducing, and, both their origins and utility quite transparent.

> Military service was one way, not the only way

In the book it was said that if a blind deaf person in a wheelchair volunteered for service, the state would find something for them to do. Maybe tediously counting hairs on a caterpillar, or testing chairs in Antarctica.

Now for me the asspull from Starship Troopers that I still think about every now and then was the notion of mathematical proofs of morality at a high school level (or any academic level, for that matter). This was a society that somehow discovered provable objective morality, and I really wish that idea could have been fleshed out more by Heinlein.

Looks to me like proof-of-authority [1] [2]. I think this is effectively what USDC and many proposed CBDCs use. I am all for sustainability but I think the use of "wood" here is at best a distraction or a misunderstanding of how a blockchain prevents double-spending. Looks to me like Woodcoin should be ignored.

I have a cognitive dissonance between valuing freedom and privacy and China's level of development (because of/in spite of limited freedom).

My hopes for China fall into 2 main camps: - Measured increases in personal freedom. Restricting information serves to slow the viral spread of minority/non-mainstream opinions (i.e. limiting the reach of a vocal minority), but keeping the population from being exposed to "bad" information is only beneficial as long as the government is "good".

- Acknowledge/continue working on current issues (demographic issues, housing market, domestic consumption). The worst that can happen to a country is that they trick themselves with their own lies (a common trope in many films featuring non-Western countries).

Interested in hearing thoughts/rebuttals/additions on this.

Disclaimer: I am ethnically Chinese but grew up outside the country.

They didn’t measure 22W, they measured 6W + 22.1W + 4.9W + 1.8W + 4.8W + 11.2W = 50.8W. Add in 66.3W for the other three cores and that would be 117.1W. Benchmark #2 measured a few watts less than that.

But they don’t give the IHS temperature so you could repeat the exact same experiment using the same hardware and get different numbers simply because your cooling setup was better or worse than theirs.
