Heck yeah. Sorting is a pretty common operation in tons of algorithms, which is why you find some form of a sort function in pretty much every language's standard runtime. Sure, this won't help much for sorting strings, but numerical sorts are still address a significant chunk of problems.

I don't think I'm informed enough to have a strong opinion on this topic, if anything I'd probably lean generally in the direction of reducing bail requirements but I do think it's important to point out:

> If someone's enough of a flight risk to earn $250M bail, their position on said spectrum seems pretty clear.

My understanding is that money was only one of many conditions of SBF's bail. Others included 24/7 onsite monitoring conducted by a third party at his expense.

So at least in this specific case there's more to the story than just other guaranteeing the money for the cash portion of his bail.
I have a lot of experience with physical violence. The Brandenburg criteria of specificity and imminence are useful legal yardsticks, but they also assume every set of circumstances is isolated from everything else and can can considered independently, almost in a social vacuum. This is partly the outcome of the Anglo-American legal tradition and the reductive philosophical approach it uses.

It's less clear cut in the real world. To some extent one must be willing to tolerate negative incoming messages, or otherwise one would never leave one's home ot risk any interaction at all. On the other hand, to argue that no speech act can ever have a violent component by definition is facile; much speech as a prelude the violence, and a lack of specificity in space, manner, or time just as easily be designed to stoke fear by strategically using uncertainty to render its object paranoid and exhaust their defensive capability in advance.

Much of this discourse at present is purely strategic, and often wildly disingenuous. Many people who speak in lofty terms about free speech (not specifying anyone in particular here) are notably silent when it comes to people harrassing librarians or allegations that drag shows = groomers + pedophilia and therefore are legitimate targets for physical or terroristic violence (bomb threats and the like that are sufficiently credible to provoke a police response).
I said that the goal of the projects is the same. It seems they're not equally effective in their efforts of reaching that goal, but that's besides the point.
Also, contacting someone's employer is far from a slam dunk freedom of speech case. It could easily run afoul of several criminal statutes, not to mention the obvious civil liability.

One more nail in the coffin for Internet anonymity.
The risk has existing for many years with humans and other tools. The addition of one more tool to the mix changes nothing.
Mostly historic, federal income tax was illegal until the early 1900s. The other difference, as I understand (not well versed in this it's not my pet-problem, I just like to understand something of what drives others to think what they think) is that an income tax brings a double tax. Taxed on all incoming money and then taxed on nearly all out going money. Prior to the amendment that made the federal income tax, there was still a Federal government, they relied on tariffs and other such taxes instead.
Looking at wattage alone doesn't tell us very much; idle at 450W seems pretty broken, sure... but how much more traffic does the Intel at 700W than the AMD at 150W? With 2.5 the cores, I'd expect at least 2.5x the traffic?
Even if your entire grid was running on coal, it's much easier to reduce the emissions of a power plant, than to all the ice cars
> I am honestly curious: how in the world did gas pumps freeze? Are gas pumps actually built differently in the north?

Pumps need power to, you know, pump. They don't just magically dispense gas and handle payments. Most gas stations around me could not operate and were closed as they did not have electricity to operate.

> And what if you were one of the unfortunate people who lost power for 5 days and had an EV? If it wasn't charged enough to go to a charging station that might have power...what do you do?

Lots of people didn't have gas in their cars, or they ran out, and, well, the gas pumps didn't have power, so they couldn't pump the gas, so their cars were dead. If they didn't have enough gas to drive far enough to a station that did have power, wouldn't they be in the same situation as that EV owner?

In the end my experience in that winter storm would have been the same if I had a gas car or an electric. I'd only have the range I had when the lights went out. I don't store a lot of gas at home, not any amount that would make an appreciable difference in range.

Pointing to things like that winter storm as some example of day to day life is extreme. It was a pretty big outlier, one that I agree Texas (and the rest of the US, see NY 2022) needs to be ready to happen more often. But acting like that's just normal day to day life is a bit absurd. What if the city gets flooded every day from massive hurricanes like with Katrina? EVs sure wouldn't be great then! What of the town has massive tornadoes ripping through like Joplin? EVs sure wouldn't be helpful in that environment!

If over the next 5 years every single family home in Texas swapped an ICE for an EV, the "grid" would probably absorb it without much issue. There's already so much spare capacity prices go negative most evenings.

> What is needed is better semantic understanding --- that is, mapping words to abstract concepts, operating on those concepts, and then translating concepts back into words. We don't know how to do this today; all we know how to do is to make the neural networks larger and larger.

It's pretty clear that these LLMs basically can already do this - I mean they can solve the exact same tasks in a different language, mapping from the concept space they've been trained on english in to other languages. It seems like you are awaiting a time where we explicitly create a concept space with operations performed on it, this will never happen.
Exactly. It’s also absurd to call it a $250M bail if you’re only depositing around a 100k to get out. I bet a lot of poor people cannot get out of their 10k bail by paying 10 bucks.
Yeah, we can't have that. That thinking is going to cause some obvious issues.

I have a 27" Dell U2719DC from 2 years ago, pretty average monitor, 2560x1440, includes a USB hub, and has a USB-c ports for charging other widgets.

On a bright screen, like full screen tab of HN I get 22 watts. If I have a darker screen like anything full screen in dark/night mode (white text on black background) I get 20 watts. When I touch the screen or top edge it's pretty close to room temperature.

To be fair my work configuration uses two of the 27" monitors.

I'm measuring with a kill-a-watt, which has a decent reputation for accuracy.

Conversational Interaction with a Large Language Model for Software Development
The point is you can develop open source AI cheaper without blockchain.
Prediction is compression. They are a dual. Compression is intelligence see AIXI. Evidence from neuroscience that the brain is a prediction machine. Dominance of the connectionist paradigm in real world tests suggests intelligence is an emergent phenomena -> large prediction model = intelligence. Also panspermia is obviously the appropriate frame to be viewing all this through, everything has qualia. If it thinks and acts like a human it feels to it like it's a human.

AVX-512 is not a dedicated sorting instruction set, but rather instructions dedicated to doing the same computations in parallel over 512 bit wide registers. So you can do the same operation in the same time for 8 doubles, 16 integers, or 64 bytes at once.

Coming up with good usage of those instructions can be tricky. It's not just the typical arithmetic things, but also instructions that shuffle around values in those registers based on values elsewhere and combining all that cleverly then can yield speed-ups for algorithms that deal with lots of data serially.

A while ago while trying to understand all that (for the older instruction sets) I've read this CodeProject article: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/874396/Crunching-Number... – AVX-512 is basically similar, just wider. Although I've heard it has a few more useful instructions as well that have no counterpart in the older instruction sets.

The biggest problem with this analysis is that it treats the speech as separate from the power and reach of the person saying them, downplaying the utterances as just information detached from the real world context in which they are used.

The Honda Myth by Masaaki Sato is an excellent book about Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa and the captivating history of how they built Honda, from motorcycles to Formula 1 and how they disrupted the US auto industry on the way with the low-emission fuel-efficient CVCC engine (the later Tesla story shares some of the same elements of new tech playing to environmental regulation).

It was driven by the quest to create the best engines and fastest vehicles.

Soichiro Honda had a great love for building and tuning his engines, saying something like,
“It will be a sad day if engineers could go to lunch without needing to wash their hands”.

For an AI with human-level intelligence or greater, you don't have to assume it has a survival instinct. You just have to assume it has some goal, which is less likely to be achieved if the AI does not exist.

The AI is likely to have some sort of goal, because if it's not trying to achieve something then there's little reason for humans to build it.

My impression is that they've had several years of poor quality and bad design decisions with their laptops. Some models were banned from flights due to battery fire issues [1]. They had keyboard problems for many years [2]. And they've had a lot of recalls [3].

Fortunately the quality seems to have improved with the M1/M2 macbooks.

This is no way to solve problems in a free society. Let’s trans people be trans. And let people who think there are only two genders think that. Forcing a set of beliefs or values on people is exactly what we should be trying to avoid.

> It’s also absurd to call it a $250M bail if you’re only depositing around a 100k to get out.

Bail amount is the penalty for you if you fail to comply.

The amount you deposit (or other property which you give, either physically or as an interest via a lien) is security.

Surety is other people accepting a penalty (which may be equal or less than the full bail amount) if you fail to comply.

Lots of states have formulaic relations between these that are designed to (1) keep people, especially poor people, in jail, and (2) support the bail bonds industry, but they are conceptually and historically separate levers for achieving compliance.
this is so much fun. i root for bing here. existential crisis. :D
LLM n00b here.

My 2c - Prompts are the input that you send to LLMs to get them to give you output. In general LLMs are large black boxes, and the output you get is not always great. The output can often be significantly improved by changing the input. Changing the input usually involves adding a ton of context - preambles, examples, etc.

A lot of the work of prompt rewriting is like boilerplate generation. It is very reusable so it makes sense to write code to generate prompts. Prompt Engine is basically a way of making that prompt rewriting work reusable.

Code Engine seems to be a way of rewriting prompts for LLMs that generate code in response to text prompts

Chat Engine is the same for LLMs that generate chat/conversational responses.

Oh, I've been shown bits and pieces of evidence for awhile now, but nothing I'd consider a smoking gun. But I always come back to the same question - what does the source of the virus matter? Humans have lived with viruses for as long as they've been humans, and our ancestors have as well, I'm assuming back to the protozoan era. I suppose we used to blame god for them, but perhaps now we can blame someone else, and I'm sure in the future the technology will exist such that they can be manufactured by students at home. Regardless, it still seems that the best defenses against them have not changed drastically in recent history.
