I used to play on civcraft and at some point they decided the lag was unbearable and restarted the map. The new map was a number of map shards connected with portals (bungee?). It fixed the lag but getting around got more cumbersome.
Very interested in this - I've been using embeddings / semantic search doing information retrieval from PDFs, using ada-002, and have been impressed by the results in testing.

The reasons the article listed, namely a) lock-in and b) cost, have given me pause with embedding our whole corpus of data. I'd much rather use an open model but don't have much experience in evaluating these embedding models and search performance - still very new to me.

Like what you did with ada-002 vs Instruct XL, has there been any papers or prior work done evaluating the different embedding models?
I'm in the same boat. For the sake of simplicity find some good brands and stick to them. Where I live its simple, get all your bulbs at IKEA. Most of them are 90 CRI and other parameters are good too. There are better ones on the market, but I dont want to go on a product hunt if my supplier is out

Just some notes on LEDs for anyone having problems with dimmer switches:-

- Make sure your dimmer switch is compatible with LEDs - ideally only compatible with LEDs, as sometimes the ones that also handle halogen bulbs can buzz

- Make sure your bulbs are dimmable

- The LED and dimmer switch need to either both be leading edge, or both be trailing edge (but almost all are trailing edge now)

- If your bulbs are too dim, read the manual for your dimmer switch - there will be a series of pushes and twists to configure it and/or manufacture reset

- Lights starting up slower than a normal on/off switch is normal - it's the bulb and dimmer "negotiating", and it makes them both last longer

So youre telling me, all I need to do to get a seat on the San Jose California Police Union, is to not frame my housekeeper for my illegal drug smuggling empire, which certainly NEVER involved any of the upstanding cops in the actual police dept?

-

My father was a cop in Oakland in the '70s... He resigned after he witnessed OPD murder several people.

His famous quote was "Once you're looking for 'bad' everywhere - pretty soon, thats all you can see'"

--

When I grew up in the 80s in Lake Tahoe (we moved from Oakland to Tahoe in 1979) -- the cops were known to have been outcasts from San Jose CA for being the worst offenders, and were pushed back to Tahoe as 'punishment' (in the same way that Catholic priests are 'punished')...

We knew that the Tahoe cops were jerks, and it was widely known they were all San Jose rejects...

Anyway, I got caught in a bit of legal trouble in 7th grade (was taking boats out for joy rides and leaving them on beaches)...

And the 'detective' who found me was later found out as being on Escobar's pay roll....

In the 1980s, Escobar was flying in tons of cocaine to truckee and south lake tahoe, and this cop, and the dad of a kid I went to school with were the guys who were funneling all that coke to Vegas and Reno...
> the language is merely a medium to communicate it

Precisely. What else is communication if not empathy accomplished via language? Failed communication?

Language is not the only tool for communication, and communication is not the only tool for empathy.

> As for LLMs "following the structural patterns" of empathetic language - sure, that's exactly what simulating empathy is.

It's a matter of perspective: a character in a story follows the patterns of emphatic language. Do they empathize directly with the reader?

An LLM cannot break the fourth wall. It can only present one that was already broken.

An LLM doesn't look at the patterns in its model objectively. It only uses them in the process of modeling more patterns.

An LLM itself cannot reason, it can only model the patterns of reason that humans have already encoded into language into text.
Why You’ll Probably Never Own a Mac with an ARM Processor (2012)
Fingering is harder than it seems, especially once you start to take into account speed, fingerings that work when playing slow may not necessarily work when playing fast. And individuals have different hand spans so a fingering that works for one person may not work for another.

If you crack this in a deterministic way it would be super useful as a library.

> It is recommended to have a minimum 16 physical cores in order to fully benefit from Folia.

I didn't expect this. I wonder how many Minecraft servers are using more than 16 cores in production today.
That is excellent advice, thank you.
Even harder is to justify the console + PSVR2 (in Canada for me) to only play Gran Turismo 7. It is the killer app for PSVR2 and I've bought previous PSes just to play updated versions but this latest is a bigger jump in cost.

So because of that, I've been waiting to see if there's something that will skip a tech generation and not make me want the current. The Bigscreen Beyond is close, though roomscale.
A standard bureaucratic nonanswer - just what ChatGPT would say and not a bad thing for non-human entities people might take seriously to say. What do you want, some prognostication?

I don't understand why it's a bad idea? Did openai ask for permission for using the data it uses (no)?
No one clearly knows, but it should be there for a reason. We used a referral when applying and I would recommend finding one. Won't hurt for sure, prob will increase the chances to be seen.
What's the plan for the license for this? Especially path to production?
I'm sympathetic to the idea that AI will be helpful for everyone, but it's not clear to me that it will automatically translate into governments treating people better. That doesn't seem inevitable at all.
Ubuntu was very good in 2012 and actually great in 2016 with first class support by manufacturers (Dell, Lenovo) and commercial sw vendors (MS), great launcher/shell app (Unity) but IMO has had too many regressions: broken power management, touchpad, crappy container software just to run the same old software, broken notifications, barebone yet dysfunctional GUIs pointlessly wasting space on notebooks (gnome/gtk 3+), non-competitive power efficiency despite intrusive Windows-y system management monolith challenging the size of the Linux kernel itself and requiring frequent updates (systemd), focus on developer frameworks rather than users (Wayland), yet still multiple/HiDPI monitor support not great either ...

More than any single point of criticism in isolation, it's the feeling of a dying platform (for desktop) past its peak. Doesn't help there haven't been new high profile desktop apps for ages either.

RH definitely won't save the Linux desktop, they've abandoned any commercial interest/offering in that space many years ago. IMO using Fedora is just wasting your time alpha-testing RH's enterprise offerings, like CentOS is nowadays.

Personally, I'm in the process of completely transitioning to Mac OS which I've always used on and off since 2003. Hope to be able to run aarch64-native Linux VMs on Mac OS for development.

My GPT4 quota is used up for a few hours so I don't know if it does any better, but why isn't it capable of removing the redundant entries?

I know that I've never lost a single item to customs in all the years I was procuring cigars internationally, and most retailers would send out a second shipment if the first was seized for whatever reason. Even the gray market retailers, who would buy in volume from companies with actual Habanos licenses and then sell at a discount to customers would do this. I think you're right and it was only cases where they made it extremely obvious would customs ever do something about it. Of course, it didn't hurt that the elites on both sides of the political aisle enjoyed the product.

I’ll be more blunt: how do you then undermine the claim that such a bill is necessary due to the irrationality of humans which can be more easily leveraged in the age of social media for bad outcomes?

It seems like you either need to make the case that:

1) humans aren’t irrational or

2) the risk of such irrationality at scale is not really a major risk or

3) social media isn’t uniquely poised to capitalize on that risk or

4) we already have tools capable of mitigating that risk

It sounds like you’re debating 3) but there seems to be some evidence that social media tends to spread “bad” information faster and farther than “good” information by hijacking innate human psychological traits more easily.

I understand it seems clever to frame AI trends in an evolutionary setting.

But no one was there in the Cambrian period. We have no idea what the circumstances really were. I'm not dismissing historical sources. Just saying the timescale and comparative lack of sources equate to a lot of unreliability.

The real question is how much AI is a step up in tooling. The fact that humans develop tools using their intelligence is well documented. And doesn't require a detour into evolutionary theory.

The society with the best tools for the problems it faces has a competitive advantage.
This is really cool!

There are two motions in particular that pianists use constantly that don't seem to be represented in the robot model, if you're looking to get closer to the way that human limbs and digits operate. (Naturally there are plenty of other goals, but if you can imitate human playing you can do things like suggest fingerings or assess difficulty, as you say.)

1) turning at the elbow (so that your forearm can make an angle with the piano keyboard instead of always being perpendicular to it). It looks like you translate the forearm back and forth instead, which I assume must be a lot easier to handle because of course it's not how human arms work.

2) rotating the forearm/wrist (like turning a doorknob). Pianists do this on basically every note to a greater or lesser extent. To take an extreme example, if you alternate notes with your thumb and pinky you are almost completely using your wrist and not your fingers. Without this degree of freedom it is not really possible to emulate a competent pianist, if that is one of the eventual goals.
Hi everyone,
Since it is a ubuntu/fedora thread, I wanted to ask one thing , as the author has suggested that we can make changes in GNOME UI, my quesiton is , how can I make changes and build them locally to see the change, I am very beginner but I know C++, python and has worked on multiple projects.

I wanted to make some changes in the UI and wanted to add some custom command utility , but I am not sure how to build it and see the changes locally.

Could someone please guide me, I will be obliged from the insight and will definietly help me to start with open source contribution journey

Thanks
No it wasn't. You have the misconception that an AI system has to achieve anthropomorphic qualities to become dangerous. ML algorithms are goal-oriented, they are optimized to maximize a specific goal. If that goal is not aligned with what a group of people want then it can become a danger to them.

You seem to be dismissing the entire problem of AI alignment due to some people's belief/desire for LLMs to assume a human persona. Those people are uninformed and not the ones seriously thinking about this problem so you shouldn't use their position as a straw man.
Yeah, Musk does have that ridiculous saviour complex ...

"Oh Tesla was hours away from going bankrupt" yada yada

Or the bizarre interview with him in the dark ...

I don't believe his bleatings for a minute ...
Their net (aka profit) was 8x year over year because their costs did not scale with revenue. Their 20% market share doesn't have anything to do with how their profit (as income minus costs) scales.

Based on info in the quarterly financial report, the revenue increase is 209%, not what the 109% the article says. Given their costs did not rise as fast as revenue, their profit margin this quarter was 32% over 8% the year before. However, it wasn't all roses as they indicate higher costs as well, example: "For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, feed costs per dozen were $0.679, a 20.8% increase compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022."

Item: before, after
Egg: 1.61, 3.30
Inc: 477.5, 997.5
Net: 39.5, 323.2
Margin: 8%, 32%

Max Bowman, chief financial officer of Cal-Maine Foods, added, “Our financial results for the quarter were led by net sales of $997.5 million compared
with $477.5 million for the same period last year. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $323.2 million, or $6.62 per diluted share,
compared with $39.5 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. [0]

FreeBSD? pshah. Call me when you're on TempleOS.
this seems obvious, but its not for some. Should you get an MBA from Harvard? the material is probably very similar to other materials in other programs. But, the contacts you can make are probably priceless. Are you a shy individual who isn't going to put effort into meeting people, growing a network? probably not worth it because the actual advantage is the people, not the degree.

A classic example I use is I attended Arizona State for a bachelors and masters in electrical engineering. A friend of mine attended Arizona State for bachelors and Stanford for a masters. We both learned the same material. He had more opportunities to meet good contacts and use those resources to expand his future. Did he? no, he ended up at a defense contractor back in AZ. Instead he had larger student loans to pay back. The big fancy schools have big fancy networks of people, but if you're not going to leverage it, its not worth it. Sounds like YC is very similar.
Social media giant Pinboard. People are warned not to compete with Pinboard but they still make 3rd party clients which seem to work.

On your point: In my opinion 3rd party clients expand services, are a new place of innovation and a place accompanying different usage patterns. The trick is not to kill them; the trick is, to make it work. I would have accepted a Tweetbot with ads. But without Tweetbot I mostly stopped visiting Twitter.
Better yet, I'm only choosing dumb TVs (if possible) in the future.
I don't really have a background in ML or anything but how generalizable is this? Is the goal to have a trained model for each specific using this framework? It's pretty amazing, I love seeing anything robotics related in the browser.

I don’t disagree with this but they also went all in on trucks thinking a future would come where they would still get to sell combustion trucks with fat margins. And then Tesla and Co came along, proved EVs were feasible, which allowed nation states to comfortably start setting future new combustion vehicle sales bans.

As the Indiana Jones quote goes, “They choose poorly.” They thought no one would ever hold them accountable to actually innovate, and they may face a corporate death penalty for the hubris and shortsightedness.

> Lights starting up slower than a normal on/off switch is normal - it's the bulb and dimmer "negotiating", and it makes them both last longer

Negotiating? Some dimmers might “adapt” and choose which style to be (leading or trailing edge), but most don’t. I think the real issue is the startup time of the power supply, especially when starting dimmed and therefore getting a horrible waveform.
It's actually an interesting problem from a "total effort" viewpoint.

There's zero reason to design a kitchen to last 100 years if the average one will be remodeled in 7 and even the oldest won't go past 20.

But other things can be designed to last significantly longer, and be used way past their "original expected lifespan" - many of the buildings in Europe, for example, have lasted centuries.
What makes you think this post is about the third party client API? The commercial API tiers have also been nerfed [1] to a level where you need Enterprise to do almost anything useful.

FWIW, OP said they think legalization would stop the cartel, and you're describing the local effects of decriminalization. These are different things. Personally, I don't think either makes sense without having support systems already in place, like easily available SIS, rehab, readily available naloxone and a lot of other general welfare that we're missing in the US, like support for the homeless, mental health care, etc.

Just as sort of an analogy to what I'm saying, citizens of all the states had access to some gambling addiction hotline even before gambling was widely legalized.
