In a fun essay named The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, though apparently lifted by Marx from a letter to him by Engels:

So really it was Engels.
I am not wrong and I'm not talking about those.

The Intel platform intrinsics have names like `_mm512_4dpwssd_epi32()`. The standardized SIMD intrinsics with `simd` in the name are much newer than any of the code I'm talking about in ffmpeg/x264/dav1d. These are okay, but not being platform-specific of course means you don't get platform-specific features, which you might want when you're doing this level of optimization.

The other problem is compilers (esp. gcc) were traditionally very bad at code generation for them, although these days they're okay at it.
A Canticle for Leibowitz is another very relevant book of the same genre.
Yeah, good point. Taking away people's right to vote isn't a direction I'd prefer we all head in.

Interesting then that 2 states: Vermont and Maine (and DC!) let you vote even while you're in prison.
I'm well aware of that. I'm talking about how he initially made money in crypto. The article above links to the piece below but its unclear to me now how much of this is true and how much of this was exaggerated by SBF's own story telling to raise money. This all took place before FTX.

I also saw this and was at a loss. I'm guessing for those with eating disorders/people who have food as some sort of trigger. I understand we should respect others, but a warning about food seems... excessive.
> beat the cargo out of Rust

But cargo already isn’t in Rust. There are AFAIK no cargo-specific concepts that have leaked into Rust, the language. It is very straightforward to build Rust code without using cargo, for example with a makefile.

The reason other tools are slow to add support for rust is because cargo is so ubiquitous in the rust ecosystem that there is little point (I’d estimate that >99% of Rust code is built using Cargo), and not because of any technical impossibility.
The media response to this has been shameful. They've called it an 'alleged firebombing' even though the police have been quite upfront about it being a firebombing, and many are phrasing their reports in such a way that make it seem like he's some way at fault for this.

For those who haven't been following this, he recently covered the infiltration of organized crime into politics and regulatory institutions. This is almost certainly related.
How do you even know that he is a victim? I am curious, because that was my question.

He is the one claiming he has been a victim, despite using a Yubikey (presumably indicating that even Yubikeys are not enough to protect accounts). The onus is on him to provide some details.

For example, he could have clarified his account set up for audience to be able to meaningfully react, and perhaps provide directions, for instance, pointing him out to Google’s Advanced Protection Plan.
This is incorrect. It’s a one time only fee.
I’m pretty sure you can be paid handsomely for being an above average accountant or plumber in a decent location (and mid sized or bigger city in the developed world for example)! Being above average at playing the guitar, not so much.
I didn't know the specifics of it, that has a lot more information and is is an interesting read.

One of the bits in there caught my eye...

> We created a language-specific phonetic specification of the "Hey Siri" phrase. In US English, we had two variants, with different first vowels in "Siri"—one as in "serious" and the other as in "Syria." We also tried to cope with a short break between the two words, especially as the phrase is often written with a comma: "Hey, Siri." Each phonetic symbol results in three speech sound classes (beginning, middle and end) each of which has its own output from the acoustic model.

And the British version getting false positives on wake up with world politics.

The specifics of the wake up and that its done with a ML model rather than a low power wake word chip akin to https://www.syntiant.com/post/syntiant-low-power-wake-word-s... is also interesting - and impressive that they were able to get it to be that low power.

Funny. I've implemented something like this as well, but over `poll()`, and I made it handle child processes too.

I could probably change it to use io_uring and kqueue on those platforms, but I wanted to make a POSIX-compatible version first.

52 generations of teachers passing it to their disciples, not 52 generations of the same family. Much easier to do since someone's son might be a little shit with no recourse but you probably aren't going to train a disciple for years and then have them turn out to be untrustworthy. This is more like a copy of some important christian manuscript getting passed down from St Peter to Pope Francis 260 times over the past 2000 years.

I've encountered several examples of people who were raised pure humanist/materialist and became one stripe or another of religious later in life, including

- Simone Weil (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Weil)

- my father, raised by an atheist and agnostic, was an aggressive atheist until his college years when he became a deist (he further converted to evangelical Christianity while in medical school).

- Bruce Greyson, raised a pure materialist but became vaguely spiritual and inclined towards dualism after decades of studying NDEs (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Greyson)

It may not be common to start off atheist and become theistic, but it does happen.
They're too busy delisting domains that follow the law to actually do anything of public worth.
I think Typescript is close. It does suffer from JS heritage.

A TS like language that also had a way to runtime check types (for those data

> I know some folks tend to not count BSD, Public Domain, etc as open source.

This isn’t true, unless you’re talking about some niche opinion held by a few eccentric people.

Even Richard Stillman, probably the most ardent and uncompromising copyleft activist in the world (elevating the GPL to nearly religious status) accepts that non-copyleft licenses like BSD are open-source (and free software, a term he prefers).
What has he implemented exactly from scratch in a few days? Are you impressed by his long coding session YouTube videos?
It’s my understanding that, amazingly enough, blending the models is done by literally performing a trivial linear blend of the raw numbers in the model files.

Someone even figured out they could get great compression of specialized model files by first subtracting the base model from the specialized model (using plain arithmetic) before zipping it. Of course, you need the same base file handy when you go to reverse the process.
They’re even getting aggressive in Costco with their little booth. It doesn’t make for a pleasant shopping experience; it feels like Costco should tell them that customers must initiate and that they can’t come up to you and start talking about solar.

So on the PACS table there is a button that says download CSV. Click that to download the list and then open it in excel (or sheets or whatever) and then sort by the view column. You then can use =sum() and add up to donations to each different view. I then combined the totals for like views (Conservative/Republican and Liberal/Democrat).

I'm the opposite!

I've used Spotify (and other streaming apps) for years. I finally got tired that there was no streaming app that:

* Worked well with Sonos

* Provided high quality music

* Had good automatic caching of music *note below*

I tried Spotify, TIDAL, and Apple Music before giving up and putting my library on Plex + Plexamp.

*note*: Why is Spotify SO BAD when it comes to caching. It's so strange. There are so many situtations where it doesn't work, but it should.

I have the entire contents of an album (but not the album itself) on playlist. The playlist is downloaded offline. Spotify doesn't let me search or play the songs in the album unless I navigate to the playlist.

If I just played a song on data, and I lose my connection and try to re-play it, Spotify won't let me! Does it really not maintain a cache of songs that I played three minutes ago?

Search becomes entirely useless when you're transitioning from WiFi to mobile data. This happened to me _every_ _single_ _time_ that I would get into my car and start music before driving. Spotify would refuse to let me do anything until I disabled WiFi.

Spotify has to be one of the worst widely used applications.
I have no idea how it works but I have seen people talking about models trained to draw furry art. And I assume no one spent the millions on AWS to train a full model from scratch.
Ruby and Python is not interchangeable, and Ruby is way more powerful than Python, that's a real reason why there is no equivalent of RoR in Python eco-system [1].

Python becomes very popular not by virtue of its tools, but by virtue of its intuitive and beginner friendly syntax. Because of this essential trait the useful tools and libraries are flourishing in the Python eco-system.

You are right that RoR is like a Ghetto and RoR is not considered as Ruby language. On this aspect, I think D has done a good job to ensure that any D based library and framework will still resemble D language. Like they said with great power comes great responsibility, and I'm afraid that Jai will follow Ruby and Lisp becoming untouchable by the mere mortals except only for a selected few domain expert programmers maintaining very niche applications.

While they've had some operational difficulties (like locked themselves out of some servers, or stopped services and then couldn't reboot them), just staying up is not that much of a problem.

The problem is making changes. The know-how on the system is 90% gone. So anything you touch risks falling down like a house of cards now.

And without drastic changes, Twitter can't be monetized. So things are pretty bad.

> A human still has to pull the (digital) trigger to use lethal force.

I guess you haven’t read up on the Milgram experiment. Humans are more likely, not less, to order deadly force when there is an intermediary between you and the victim. This robot will be another layer for the police to wash away their ethics and “follow orders”. We’ve already seen this with drone operators during the Iraq invation (which still suffer from PTSD despite never going to the frontlines), that they are no less likely—and even more if anything—to use deadly force on the innocent if ordered to do so.
You kid, but two ape species are indeed on the brink of extinction. They get all of the costs of our civilization, such as rampant pollution and out of control infectious disease, with none of the privileges.

Five great apes exist on earth today, two of them are on the brink of extinction, two are decreasing rapidly in population, and one is the most abundant primate species on earth.

A person has setup 2FA with Yubikey and assumes their account's safe, an assumption even I, a software engineer with passing knowledge of security, make.

One morning, they get up and find a recovery mail. They take common sense steps but still end up losing the account. With no other recourse like proper customer service, they ping the YT Twitter helpline.

It wasn't meant for any "audience" - a public shout for help isn't the same as playing to the gallery.

Do smart contracts resolve that problem? I don’t think they do completely.

Most people won’t have the knowledge or the time to verify the contracts. They will trust your word that they can’t be used to scam them. Smart contracts can still have failures too. And as long as the blockchain doesn’t control the real world, it won’t guarantee anything there (such as people making multiple wallets to manipulate the votes).

> The alternative is to build elaborate schemes where watchers watch the watchers — and the more value is controlled by the database (in terms of votes or balances) the more risk and liability everyone has. Why have it?

Why not the alternative of a regular bank account with public records? That also eliminates the risk that any mistake or manipulation stays there forever. It’s a tradeoff, not an absolute improvement.

In any case, it seems you have indeed thought about a real use case where the blockchain at least makes some sense. But that’s precisely my point, we need to be talking about actual use cases and not empty claims about potential without actually looking at why it’s useful.

It’s good to see the designers absorbed a dose of inspiration from the pioneering excursions in US sodium reactors.

Mechanical coolant pumps were the Achilles heel of the infamous Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) from 1957-64 at Santa Susana field laboratory. It had 50,000 lbs of liquid sodium in two coolant loops.

When 4 pints of tetralin leaked from a pump seal into molten sodium surrounding the SRE reactor core (500-950F), it fouled the fuel cladding with “brown stuff” and various fission products from the melted rods were found on both sides of the fence. [1]

A “small amount of sodium” in sealed heat pipes sounds pretty safe. But since Westinghouse filed all the eVinci’s NRC pre-application materials as “proprietary”, the actual design details aren’t available to the public for review.

“Disruption” I assume refers to hundreds of rule exemptions (licensing innovations) they filed as a non-LWR. Not judging, just stating the record. [2]

What is the point of making it "as hard as possible" for people?

This not a game release. It doesn't matter if it's cracked tommorow or in a year. On open source no less, it's going to happen sooner rather than later.

As disgusting as it is but somebody is going to feed CP to an A.I. Model and that's just the reality of it. It's just going to happen one way or another and it's not any of these A.I. Companies fault.

And that's horrible, but I always miss the initial part of the story.

My understanding of crypto and the economics of scale around it is poor, but was FTX was one of the largest exchanges. Doesn't such a thing need huge initial capital investments, sales, etc?
Everyone on Twitter is a critic, thinking their opinion is the right one, and looking for their 5 minutes of fame by shitting on some low hanging fruit for clicks and likes hoping that will lift them out of their anonymity.

I can't imagine a great designer like Jonny Ive (not that everything he did was perfect), sinking so low as to shit on Windows's start menu as he probably has bigger fish to fry.

Great people don't need attention from shitting on other people's work because they get enough recognition from the quality of their own work. Only the has-beens with over inflated egos do that.

Train the model with https://lucide.dev/ and ask it to generate a few more?
Quite right, but…

> That argument also makes little sense when you consider that the model is a couple gigabytes itself, it can't memorize 240TB of data, so it "learned".

The matter is really very nuanced and trivialising it that way is unhelpful.

If I recompress 240TB as super low quality jpgs and manage to zip them up as single file that is significantly smaller than 240TB (because you can), does the fact they are not pixel perfect matches for the original images mean you’re not violating copyright?

If an AI model can generate statistically significantly similar images from the training data, with a trivial guessable prompt (“a picture by xxx” or whatever) then it’s entirely arguable that the model is similarly infringing.

The exact compression algorithm, be it model or jpg or zip is irrelevant to that point.

It’s entirely reasonable to say, if this is so good at learning, why don’t you train it without the art station dataset.

…because if it’s just learning techniques, generic public domain art should be fine right? Can’t you just engineer the prompting better so that it generates “by Greg Rutkowski“ images without being trained on actual images by Greg?

If not, then it’s not just learning technique, it’s copying.

So; tldr: there’s plenty of scope for trying to train a model on an ethically sourced dataset, and investigation of techniques vs copying in generative models.

It is 100% not something we can just brush off.
That seems like a really stupid loan to make then. If Twitter fails, it becomes mostly worthless, much like MySpace today. Why would a bank make such a loan? (It does seem like bankers are pretty stupid these days though, or just don't care because it's not their money.)
