The big difference between MLS and Signal Protocol is that MLS is tree structured (it began with a tree key derivation algorithm called ART, and now uses one called TreeKEM). An MLS group is structured as a binary tree with communicants at the leaves; pairs of communicants share an addressable key, as do pairs of pairs (forming subgroups) all the way on to the root, which computes a key that addresses the whole group.

Signal Protocol is entirely pairwise. A Signal group is a set of communicants who have established N^2 pairwise ratcheting relationships with each other.
The load cell is amazing BTW. I have one on the creality CR6MAX, prusa has talked about it being sensitive enough to actually do 3d scanning of low-profile objects with it. I doubt they will implement that into the slicer but I don't doubt they can actually print that flat orange perfect first layer with it.

I agree that sharing Gcode should end as well, I understand how they thought that might be a good idea given how daunting prusaslicer is for non-techies but that wasn't a good solution.

Although Corexy is clearly a more rigid form factor I wonder if the input shaping advancements will make that bed slinging i3 seem much faster than we are expecting.

In the 90s high schoolers were dying every weekend in Plano TX when heroin rolled through. MTV even made a show about it.

High schools have thousands of students, three overdoses in a year doesn’t seem that high to me. (As depressing as that is)
Well, if you're running a business, sometimes you do need to minimize operating costs. But the people who innovate are going to continue to do so, regardless (or because) of any tools.
* The cat is out of the box. You really think eg China will also pause this?*

So what you're actually saying is that, there's a good chance that if we get an AGI, there will be pain as it will likely be used as a weapon, or could end in a nuclear exchange?
I don't think you are being difficult at all! Also, in fairness I've only ran into it once that I can remember off the top of my head but there was a problem with an optimization flag settings. A crash would only happen with a certain higher level optimization flag (you can also get linker issues but that is not really the issue here). When you get a compiler bug, or it feels like there is no way your source code could be wrong, sometimes it can be at a level that looking at the disassembly code can be inspected compared it with your written source code. In 10 years of doing iOS stuff I've only ever had to do it once. An edge case of an edge case, but I am glad that I could have run into that problem.
The world has always been ruthless and humanity has somehow persevered.
> For them to make the argument in court that database rights over the database of training data mean they have rights over the model too, they'd need to argue that the model is a derivative work training data. And then it'd mean their model is also a derived work from all the billions of works they scraped to get that data set. It would destroy the business model of the OpenAIs of the world, there is no chance they try to argue this in court.

This doesn't follow at all.

They can argue they used that work under fair-use and/or that their work was transformative. This is a fairly clear extension of arguments used by search engines that indexing and displaying summaries is not copyright violation and these arguments have been accepted by courts in most circumstances.
Buddy I don’t know what to tell you other than I posted LMAO and it only took moments for discussion of an important topic was hidden and made impossible to interact with.

You talk about the spirit of the rules but you quite literally stamped out what could’ve been a helpful discussion because you read LMAO.

You at some point spoke about curiosity and discussion. How did this moderation enforcement help either of those things?

Yes, this is tedious. It is very tedious to have discussion of important topics literally banned based on an unevenly-applied arbitrary rule of decorum.

To be very clear: I believe you made the wrong call and you’re now doubling and tripling down simply because I irritate you. There isn’t really another interpretation of this exchange unless we’re both to believe that you’re incapable of countenancing words like LMAO and you rushed in to hide a discussion about alignment in order to defend The Website from Me, The Rules Breaker. I just don’t think that’s how you usually moderate here.

Everything about US makes me so mental. Seems like a terrible place to live in. I wish I could go back to before I saw this.
I was being sarcastic. Pretty sure it's impossible for the vast majority of people (myself definitely included) to gain any kind of intuition for numbers of this scale. I also don't gain any intuition for things by comparing them to a blue whale etc (and I'm not really sure anyone else does either) and find it pretty weird that it seems to be a go-to comparison for science articles in the press.
Whisper is incredible, and it's bananas that they give it away for free. It is able to decipher English with the thickest of accents, often better than me.
How does "we need to spend billions to get these people" translate into "people shouldn't be responsible for their choices?" Because if they aren't responsible for their choices, I am?

It isn't even less money, we passed that mark a long time ago. The average junkie in Seattle costs King County around $100k/year (w/o making any progress on their addiction), while we can put them in prison for around half that. This isn't about saving money anymore, its about throwing money into a bottomless pit and seeing nothing improving at all.
Categorize.

Decide.

Compare.

Refuse.

Sure, it can exhibit these behaviors, but each behavior itself never actually leaves the text that humans wrote it into.

That means we are reliant on how well the behaviors we want can be modeled into text patterns.

Unfortunately, natural language is ambiguous. There are many identical patterns that contain different behavior.

GPT's authors introduce some of these patterns as both "feature" and "limitation":

Features:

> The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.

Limitations:

> ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.

> given one phrasing of a question, the model can claim to not know the answer, but given a slight rephrase, can answer correctly.

These are not separate. They are two sides of the same coin.

GPT will never be able to look objectively at its own model. It will never be able to subjectively categorize patterns or tokens. If it could, it would not be an LLM: it would be an entirely new technology.
Just don't be too critical, or exasperated...
They'll quickly categorise it as rude/disrespectful.
Ignore any & all contribution, refund, & then bump you in an instant.
And they'll do all this in a ham-fisted & egotistical/condescending way.
My experience of their culture, is it doesn't bode well LT.
You both broke the site guidelines badly in this thread. You unfortunately have a pattern of doing this and we had to warn you about almost exactly the same thing before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33187614.

I think the only reason is because it is not specifically prohibited.
Last thread we have folks asking for full spectrum bill to target social media just to make it fair. Nah. I just want pinpoint TikTok ban with no vague and broad language for others.

This bill is anything but that.

I appreciate this. I have seen though, particularly in the used car parts market, where parts are often unobtanium. Would the X1 Carbon be better with 4040 aluminum extrusion or their custom sheet metal bent parts?

The Mk4 still has the large metal frame. I wish they would move that to 4040 or some other available, easy to source material.

> Pygmy genetics are minorly distinct. No other group is

One group in all of humanity happened to have measurable differences in genes affecting height?

How does that explain the many other distinct "Pygmy" groups entirely separate from those in West Africa, such as those in the Philippines, who have genetic differences in growth hormones that cause them to be shorter (https://doi.org/10.1515/JPEM.2002.15.3.269)? "Pygmy" simply refers to one of these many groups, they are genetically and geographically distinct.

Pygmy groups show how absurd the claim that there are no differences in height is, but the same kind of variation has been shown within European groups on a smaller scale (consistent with the greater genetic diversity in Africa than Europe). We know that similar differences in genes that influence height exist, to a less extreme degree, across all populations. For example, males in both the Tutsi and Dinka ethnic groups average nearly 6' tall, despite living in areas where malnutrition is/was widespread and alongside other groups that are much shorter on average.

I'm genuinely curious where you got the idea that there are no genetic differences affecting height between ethnic groups/countries. Researchers have identified genetic markers responsible for the majority of variation in human height among Europeans (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/588020v1), and shown that those markers vary significantly across European groups just as they do in Africa (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3480734/).
I have no data but anecdotes. I'm in my 40s and whenever I played squads, trios, or duos, I was playing with people in their 20s or 30s. Also, it's one of those rare online games where you can queue in at 3am or in the middle of a school day and almost instantly get into a game, and it's a game requiring 100 people per match. Other online games I've gotten into, 15 player games, essentially died out late at night or during schooldays. Fortnite doesn't.

Yes, there are a lot of kids playing it, and it's very popular with them. But there's also a huge audience of adults.
Not to mention that to a large extent, you can spend the difference between stock unit prices making an Ender-3 v2 nearly as capable as a $799-$1,000 printer. Does it make sense? Overkill? Depends what you want to get out of the hobby. Can’t scoff at those who want to learn the fundamentals of 3D printing through the experience of modding and tuning ad nauseum because it’s _just not quite there yet_.
I’m one of those Ender-3 V2 folks who can’t stop tweaking and modding and it’s been a frustratingly awesome and educational ride for the last year and some change. No regrets. I’ve gotten great prints along the way.
But now, if I add a printer in the future that promises to “just work” and it doesn’t, I can diagnose/fix pretty quickly. Which I might just do.
> We demonstrate that utilizing a large unlabeled multilingual dataset to pre-train the encoder of our model and fine-tuning on a smaller set of labeled data enables us to recognize these under-represented languages. Moreover, our model training process is effective for adapting to new languages and data.

What this implies is that the core encoder model (trained on popular languages with a ton of data) does a really good job at learning the generalized basics of any language (period).

Then, they enter a comparatively minuscule amount of labeled data from the small languages at the end (supervised fine tuning - since parameters are tuned iteratively, the latest training data has the biggest impact on the final performance). The model has enough of a general “understanding” of grammar across languages that it can fill in the gaps it doesn’t get from that small labeled set.

Thats the true crazy part. The pre trained encoder is an ersatz Rosetta Stone.
Yes, intentions =/= faith, the article has that, too, even including ones' own ego:

Put Error to Work

I agree with my sibling comments, but want to add that nowhere does TS imply it has it's own stdlib or anything. If you type map, you know fully it's the JS map that's going to be executed. I don't think TS ever wants or could replace the JS stdlib.
Fire the brilliant asshole, too. Or at least put the fog in that quadrant.
Empathy is what language is for. It's language itself that is doing the empathy: and that isn't simulated at all. It was all written by people.

All an LLM can do is follow the structural patterns, and use them to shuffle.
In my experience, you cannot force or punish someone out of problematic substance abuse. If it was that easy, we'd already have the solution. These kids are engaging in this behavior for one reason or another and the solution isn't to make them feel worse about it than they already do.
And even that last one you can now finally explicitly account for with the incredibly unfortunately syntaxed, but critically useful, double question mark.
Omg, this is genius!

Huge step in the development of AI programming.

It would be great if you could show off those examples at the top of the README file so people can see what it is right away.

This is a bipartisan bill and supported by the White House.

It's Patriot Act Version 2. Everything they wanted in version 1 and couldn't get, they are putting in here.

It does not contain the word TikTok. It applies to "desktop applications", "mobile applications", "gaming applications", "payment applications", "web-based applications" and everything connected to the Internet that serves >1M users within a year time period.

Fines up to $1M and 20 years in prison. It also uses civil forfeiture and makes it illegal to properly run a VPN.

This has bipartisan support.
I prefer kind and respectful. Nice often comes with a cloak of insincerity that makes it awkward and corrosive.
> What we really need is privacy laws like almost every European country

Not gonna say we _don't_ need that... but it's not clear that there's any relevance to tiktok. Given the track record of Chinese companies and IP law they don't agree with, do you really expect them to honor privacy laws?
You mean the Atari ST right?
Sorry. I meant to write that closed source software isn’t opaque, technologically. (More opaque, yes, opaque... no.) Legally, it’s different. But closed source compilation alone doesn’t grant a program special privileges or confidentiality or non-reversibility, which is sometimes assumed. It’s just machine code or bytecode either way.
I’ve seen “incompetent but nice” people destroy entire companies, as in those companies no longer exist.

Innovation <> Knowledge <> Wisdom

Innovation is creating combinations of existing knowledge and finding new knowledge in the process. The role of GPT will be to reduce the cost of exploring the space of existing knowledge, and helping to evaluate these combinations.

Each time you try some new combination, it's like buying a lottery ticket. The more tickets you have, the better your cumulative odds of "winning".

I think innovation is clearly going to keep on going. Even if Moore's law tops out and we can't get new chips in 5 years due to some calamity, we'll just keep optimizing and making things better with the tools and techniques we've already got.
I wonder if that's specifically a result of training it on youtube videos where the audio/subtitles don't actually match (recipe videos with no speech that have additional text added in the subtitles)
No, we agree about the phrase. But that's the whole ballgame: if "cradle" independently referred to the place, there would be no need to say "of civilization." It's an idiomatic use that is expressly non-literal. We also agree that "cradle" as a verb is not metaphorical.

Whether "cradle" is more or less common than "crib" (say) doesn't indicate one way or another whether its usage in other contexts is as a first- or second-order signifier.
No, unless you can provide more reasoning.
Even when people were using analog cameras they would edit their negatives before making prints.

> or even getting rid of fentanyl smoke on buses.

The burnt peanut butter smell is pretty rancid. Voters, even in Seattle, only have a finite amount of empathy to spare on this problem, and it has mostly been expended.

> It is expelling fentanyl users from society and expecting that will stop new users appearing. That's why they don't want to spend money on treatment or services. They think enabling the existence and recovery of existing users will encourage more.

We (King County at least) spend around $100k/junkie per year on services. And that still isn't considered enough. So should we double our property taxes or something to spend even more money on this problem?

> They think enabling the existence and recovery of existing users will encourage more.

If Seattle is the only place these people can get help across the whole country, that would definitely occur. You can't fight a national problem with local resources and not expect distortions (people are mobile).

If though the way it says "mems" instead of "memes" irked me for some reason.
I was required to attend alcoholics anonymous for three months to continue in university after passing out from intoxication on the quad. Hearing those stories led me to stop experimenting with new drugs and reduce my drinking - I didn't want to become those people. I don't know that such cautionary tales would necessarily have helped this child, but they might have.

Let's not forget that attending substance abuse classes is the recommend medical treatment for substance abuse, a medical problem. Doctors wouldn't recommend it if it didn't work sometimes. Imagine if the story was about a broken leg instead of substance abuse and the child similarly said they didn't feel like anything was wrong with their leg, and so it similarly went untreated.

You're right, the definition of transaction is quite broad here. However in order for VPN to run afoul of this bill, the gov't would first need to enforce the bill by banning individual users from accessing specific sites on the internet, which the VPN would then bypass. That kind of censorship has never been permitted under the first amendment and I don't see anything here that changes that.

Honestly, you could read all the greatest books several times in a life with a habit of reading and a good prioritization. Many great books are pleasurable but many pleasures are acquired. The pleasures of middle age are not the pleasures of youth. The things you might toss aside one year are the things you cherish a decade later. If a reader doesn't get something out of a great book then that's a problem with the reader more than the book.
